Central Park curfew sweep nets CNN talent, drug bust
 You might not have known, but technically Central Park is closed from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m., 365 days a year -- even if you're an annoying reporter for CNN.
The New York Times is reporting that CNN's Richard Quest was arrested in the park around 3:40 a.m. and today faces a misdemeanor drug possession charge. From the Times:
As he was being escorted out, he volunteered, “I have meth in my pocket,” according to an official briefed on the case. Stay tuned to see if he mentions it on his business travel blog.
Update: Qust avoided jail time by agreeing to six months of drug counseling, according to the Associated Press.
