| CNN reporter Richard Quest will avoid jail despite being arrested in Central park on drug charges. Quest, 46, was arrested early Friday morning with a small amount of methamphetamine. The CNN International travel reporter agreed to undergo drug counseling and therapy in exchange for avoiding time behind bars. The New York Post reports that Quest was found with a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot. The paper quotes unnamed law-enforcement sources in its report. Quest was approached by police because he was in the park after 1 a.m., which is the official closing time for the Manhattan landmark. The reporter is represented by Alan M. Abramson. He says his client was simply returning to his hotel with friends and didn't realize that the park had a curfew. CNN is not commenting but its Web site said, "He has become one of the network's highest profile presenters," and his "dynamic and distinctive style has made hima unique figure in the field of business and news broadcasting." |

| #7 From the New York Post article: The criminal complaint says the officer at the scene was able to ID the drug because of "his prior experience as a police officer in drug arrests, observation of packaging which is characteristic of this type of drug, and defendant's statements that . . . 'I've got some meth in my pocket.' " |

| #6 I think boot is Brit for trunk. A sex toy in his trunk. A trunk in his boot. A trunk in his... Whatever. Are they trying to tell us the sex toy and/or the rope was illegal? Isn't announcing this stuff an invasion of privacy? I'd take his explanation. I think he got screwed. Oh, nevermind. |

| #4 and a sex toy in his boot. I think that's a typo, they meant to write "Butt" not "Boot". (just a couple of letters off) |

| #3 Difference between towy and sex toy is location location location. Although, in a boot, never heard of that. |
