Man with same name as 'Breaking Bad' meth cook wanted on meth charges

8/17/2012

Lovers of irony everywhere can pop that bottle of champagne they’ve been saving, because this is The Big One. A real life Tuscaloosa, Ala., man named Walter White is wanted on meth charges. Walter White is, of course, the name of the meth-making main character of the critically acclaimed series “Breaking Bad.” Walter White (the real one) was first arrested on charges of trafficking, manufacturing and possessing methamphetamine in 2008, the same year “Breaking Bad” debuted. Coincidence? Perhaps, but there’s no word yet as to whether this real Walter White has a bacon-crumbling birthday ritual or a Heisenberg-like nickname as his fictional counterpart does. [Source]
