CNN Anchor Richard Quest was arrested early Friday for drug possession.
Police initially stopped Quest, 46, in NYC's Central Park for violating the park's curfew. He was busted around 3:40 a.m. when police found a small bag of methamphetamine in his pocket, The New York Times reports.
"I've got some meth in my pocket," he confessed to police, according to the complaint obtained by The Times.
Quest was arraigned Friday afternoon in Manhattan Criminal Court on a misdemeanor charge of possessing methamphetamine and on a charge of loitering.
After negotiating with the Manhattan district attorney’s office, he agreed to six months of counseling if the judge drops the charge, providing Quest's therapy is successful The Times reports.
The British journalist - who attends the World Economic Forum in Switzerland each year - is best known for CNN's late-night international programming. He also hosts his own hourlong show, Quest.

Treat him as you would any citizen caught doing a no-no... People in the know should get no less or more than anyone else. I suspect (as I am a retired Federal Police Sgt) that there is much more to this (hush-hush) story than we shall ever know. Looks perverted to me.............

He'll get a free pass since he's part of the liberal media. Can you imagine the media frenzy there would be if this were a conservative guy? They would milk this for the next 2, maybe 3 years.

OK. A 3:40AM arrest in Central Park is not a good look for a Talking Head. Quest's happy powder may be the least of his worries; the consequences for anonymous dating in the park are way more dangerous and can get you a death sentence if you're not careful.

I'm surprised. I'd always assumed that Wolf Blitzer was the methhead.
