CNNer Caught with Genitals Tied

I'm not even going to try and understand this story.

CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said.

Quest, 46, was arrested at around 3:40 a.m. after a cop spotted him and another man inside the park near 64th Street, a police source said.

The criminal complaint against Quest said the park was closed at the time - something Quest should have known because of all the signs saying "Park Closed 1 a.m. to 6 a.m."

Quest was initially busted for loitering, the source said. Aside from the oddly configured rope, the search also turned up a sex toy inside of his boot, and a small bag of methamphetamine in his left jacket pocket.

Maybe he was on assignment? Maybe it was research for a R & B song? I don't know, but his lawyer, Alan Abramson, said he was just returning to his hotel with friends.

Yeah, and the rest of the story is anyone's guess.
