According to CNN, forty-six year old Richard Quest is one of the most notable and recognizable people in journalism, let alone CNN. In a recent turn of events, Quest will be recognizable outside the world of journalism. Due to the interesting circumstances, the recognition will not come in a good way.
The NYPD had arrested Quest in New York’s Central Park on the initial charge of loitering after hours. He was arrested about 3:40 in the morning on Friday, April 18. Central Park closes at one in the morning. However, Quest was discovered to have a rope tied around his neck and his genitals. In addition, Quest had a small bag of drugs in his jacket and a sex toy inside his boot.
Quest did admit the drugs were his and agreed to drug counseling for six months. The charges against Quest were dropped in exchange that he undergoes the counseling.
He is based in London as part of CNN International, the international arm of CNN. Quest is also known on CNN for his flamboyant personality.
