CNN reporter Richard Quest was picked up in Central Park and admitted to cops that he had crystal meth in his pocket.

Police were escorting Quest out of the park when he turned to the officers and said "I've got some meth in my pocket."

This man is either too honest or too stupid.

The openly gay news man was arrested around 3:40 a.m. on a possession of a controlled substance count, a misdemeanor that usually refers to a personal use amount of a drug.

Richard hosts "CNN Business Traveler" and "Quest."

The judge allowed Quest to leave court without posting bail but was warned that he had to cooperate or would end up back in jail.

CNN had no immediate comment on the arrest.
