<NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York judge ordered CNN reporter Richard Quest to undergo six months of counseling on Friday after Quest was arrested in Central Park for possession of a controlled substance, his lawyer said.

He was arrested at 3:40 a.m. on Friday in New York's Central Park for being in the park after a 1 a.m. curfew.

Police discovered a plastic bag containing what was believed to be methamphetamine in his pocket, police spokesman John Grimphel said.

Quest, 46, later appeared before State Court Judge Anthony Ferrara, who told him the case would be dismissed if he attends counseling, Quest's lawyer, Alan Abramson said.<<

Pretty light sentence to me. But at least he'll be off the airwaves for six months. I hope.

1. Wow, that's fucked up.

Meth is a hell of a drug.

[gateley]

5. So, back in the day --

the saying was "Speed Kills".

I remember reading an article which stated that when a speed freak's brain was touched during an autopsy, it would kind of disintegrate.

From first hand experience, I know nothing fucked up my brain more.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

2. I don't recognize him nor his name.

[gateley]

3. Me either -- but I'm assuming that pic is of him? nt

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

6. It's a pic of him. It seems he does travel on CNN International?

[iamthebandfanman]

4. i do

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

7. According to another article I read, he is British and I believe it says

that he works as a travel reporter for CNN International.

8. He does a lot on the British royals, too.

[malaise]

14. You'd need drugs to cover that rubbish n/t

[emilyg]

20. LOL - true.

[iamthebandfanman]

22. thats why i said 'it figures' lol n/t

[Mabus]

23. Most of the time I've seen him is when he talking about the princes

Charles and kids. Light, mind-numbing fare.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

13. I'm glad you succeeded!!!!

:hug:

[seabeyond]

17. me too

:hug:

[lligrd]

10. I've Seen Him, He Is Always Very Peppy nt

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

11. Peppy? On Speed!

:rofl:

[kenny blankenship]

16. Oh, that freak - I always thought he had a taser up his ass

I mean he always seemed to be about ready to jump up and launch himself at the camera.

But now that you mention speed yeah, it fits too I suppose.

[kenny blankenship]

12. What will Dr. Quest have to say to that ?

-and WHEN, oh Lord, are they finally going to drop a net on that acid freak Rick Sanchez?

[Crunchy Frog]

15. Dick Quest.

At least that's what they're saying in the other thread.

[TomInTib]

21. I wrote that.

Any guy hanging around Central Park at that time of morning, holding a little meth is pretty assuredly on a Dick Quest.

But poor Richard is just simply f***ed.

[AlCzervik]

18. omg John Oliver on the Daily Show does the best impression of him. The meth thing

it makes sense.

[mitchtv]

19. Not so lite for a first offense

whatta you want to spend money on jail to break the bank, and ruin his life? He'll do better with rehab and a good scare. Prison is the wrong place for drug offenders, especially simple posession.

[MonkeyFunk]

24. and the details come out...

CNN broadcaster Richard Quest was busted around 3 AM in Central Park yesterday with a pocketful of meth and a rope tied to his neck and genitals, police are now reporting.


"I've got some meth in my pocket," the openly gay reporter told the arresting officer.

Also recovered off his person was "a sex toy" in his boot, law-enforcement sources said.

25. How embarassing

Get a room

[YDogg]

28. jesus friggin key-rist! who ties a neck around one's neck? really?

[YDogg]

26. well, that explains some things!

seriously, he has some kinda energy. borderline gets on my nerves, but i just don't pay much attention to him.

[SoCalDem]

27. Well that might explain why he's so .. so.. "energetic"

and talks so fast :rofl:

[NNN0LHI]

29. This is the guy who reports from the UK all the time with the thick British accent

He just about orgasms when reporting anything about the royal family. Even when one of them makes big news from stubbing their toe or something.
