CNN Anchors' Meth Deal

Richard Quest's a lucky man. Rather than being thrown in the slammer for being caught with meth, the CNN anchor will complete a six month treatment program, which will essentially make the matter disappear:

At Friday’s arraignment, Judge Anthony J. Ferrara told Mr. Quest that the case would be dismissed and sealed if he reported back in October and demonstrated sufficient progress in his therapy. The judge also agreed that there would be no restrictions placed on Mr. Quest’s ability to travel.

CNN has not released a statement on Quest's arrest. They're probably hoping it disappears, as well.
