In an ironic case of life imitating art, a man who won a competition to watch the finale of Breaking Bad with the cast has now been arrested on drugs charges.
Twenty-eight-year-old Ryan Lee Carroll was arrested on Tuesday following a raid on a Florida home.
Carroll was a self-confessed huge fan of hit TV show Breaking Bad, centered around a science teacher turned meth dealer, and won a contest back in September to watch the final episode with the cast.
Speaking at the time, he said; "It's just so addicting."
"It's such a good show. I think it's addicting because people can relate to the main character."
Carroll was taken into custody on New Year’s Eve on felony charges related to the manufacturing and shipping of narcotics.
The Lee County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that more than 700 pounds of 79,000 individually packaged packets of synthetic marijuana were seized with an estimated street value of $1.25 million.
