Mark Crumpacker, chief marketing and development officer for Chipotle, has been indicted as a customer of a cocaine trafficking ring in New York City, the New York Daily News reports.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance described Crumpacker and others as "key repeat customers," NYDN reported. Customers paid $200 to $300 per transaction for "high-end, on demand service," Vance told NYDN.
The cocaine reportedly was sold at Duane Reade and CVS pharmacies as well as in delis.
A copy of the buyers' indictment obtained by Denverite shows that 18 individuals have been charged with a collective 97 counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree. That offense is a misdemeanor in New York, punishable by up to a year in jail.
The sellers' indictment, meanwhile, includes charges of operating as a major trafficker, conspiracy and criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second and third degree. These are all felonies.
Crumpacker has worked at Chipotle since 2009, according to his LinkedIn. He has been a face of the company, and was recently quoted in a news release about its new customer loyalty program.
