Fox Business reporter busted bringing crack pipe into Manhattan courthouse
2019-12-18
[NYPOST] A Fox Business news hound was busted last week trying to sneak a glass crack pipe into the federal courthouse in downtown Manhattan, sources and law enforcement told The Post.

Lawrence Crook III was on his way into the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse at 500 Pearl St. to cover the Sprint/T-Mobile merger trial on Dec. 9 when an eagle-eyed court security officer noticed a strange bulge in his sock, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the incident.

Crook immediately fessed up when confronted with the contraband, and began whining about how he’d recently lost his job at CNN and was in "big trouble," sources said.

A front man with Federal Protective Services offered a different version of events, claiming the glass pipe fell out of Crook’s pocket.

The 36-year-old was escorted from the premises without incident, and issued a violation for possessing drug paraphernalia on federal property, the front man said.

#13  We do drug and alcohol so it's all simply drug testing to me. Knew someone who got fired for not blowing 0.0 at the heliport going to the rig. Too much celebrating his promotion the night before.

#10  I see no reason why reporters can't be drug tested.

Probably much, much more efficient to do sobriety tests.

#9  Is it an over abundance of irony that the guy's last name is Crook?

#8  I see no reason why reporters can't be drug tested. I think everyone working should.

I have to be, all the time. Doesn't hurt me any.
