NEW YORK - A CNN reporter was arrested Friday in Central Park with a small amount of methamphetamine in his pocket, but he avoided jail time by agreeing to undergo drug counseling and therapy.

I always thought it was hilarious that CNN had a science reporter named Miles O’Brien.
Oh! Pow! Bang! Boom!
He had a brief career with the PDFA (Professional Dog Fighting Assn.) and is buried in Michael Vick's back yard......
Oh dear! The lad’s in a bit of a fix.
When police saw and detained Quest, he told them, “I’ve got some meth in my pocket,”
Are they sure he didn’t actually say, “I’ve got thome meth in my pocket,” or “I’ve got some mess in my pocket”?
LOL
