Wouldn't a Chipotle executive know to try to avoid other things that give you the runs? Story out of New York:
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc.'s Mark Crumpacker, one of the beleaguered company's top four executives, was placed on administrative leave following reports that he was linked to a cocaine bust in New York.
Crumpacker, who was named marketing head in 2009 and more recently took the title chief creative and development officer, was among more than a dozen people facing charges linked to alleged cocaine purchases over the last year, according to the New York Daily News. The executive's duties have been transferred to other senior managers, Chipotle said in a statement Thursday.
"We know very little about these charges," Chris Arnold, a spokesman for the Denver-based company, said in an email. "Due to the nature of this situation, Mark has been placed on administrative leave. We made this decision in order to remain focused on the operation of our business and to allow Mark to focus on these personal matters."
Eighteen "repeat customers" of a Lower East Side-based cocaine operation were indicted for allegedly purchasing the drug at locations ranging from delis, pharmacies, restaurants, bars, apartments, hotels and workplaces, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. and New York City Police Commissioner William Bratton announced Thursday.
The ring was allegedly run by three men, who used livery services to deliver more than $75,000 worth of drugs to customers throughout the city, according to prosecutors. Cont.
