More than 500 people became sick after eating at a Chipotle in the second half of last year.<\/p>\n<p>The company has adopted a number of more stringent food safety protocols and spent millions of dollars on marketing to win back customers, efforts led by Mr. Crumpacker. Just this week the company announced Chiptopia, a new loyalty program that rewards frequent customers with free food. Buy four burritos, for instance, and get a fifth one free.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Marketing Officer of Chipotle Mexican Grill Mark Crumpacker<br \/>\nMichael Loccisano | Getty Images<br \/>\nChief Marketing Officer of Chipotle Mexican Grill Mark Crumpacker<br \/>\nOn Thursday, Mr. Crumpacker was named in an indictment from Manhattan prosecutors as one of 18 repeat buyers of cocaine from a business that delivered drugs to customers.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Crumpacker could not immediately be reached for comment.<\/p>\n<p>The district attorney said the drug ring delivered more than $75,000 worth of cocaine over a year.
