The hit show "Breaking Bad" captivated audiences around America. "Breaking Bad" highlighted the story of Walter White. After being diagnosed with terminal cancer, White, a high school chemistry teacher, began making meth with a former student to guarantee his family would have money after his passing.
As the AMC series came to end, the network held a contest for avid fans. The winner had the opportunity to fly to Los Angeles and watch the "Breaking Bad" finale with the cast. Winner Ryan Lee Carroll won the contest, attended the finale party in Los Angeles, and met the cast members.
Carroll was recently arrested in Florida for possession of synthetic narcotics, possession of controlled substances without prescriptions, and keeping a vehicle for dangerous drugs. Police discovered Carroll was running a synthetic drug distribution operation in Lee County. Police suspected Carroll used a cement mixer to create the drugs and shipped the drugs to other states through the U.S. Postal Service.
Throughout the series, "Breaking Bad" focused on the risky industry of drugs. Even watching the violence and gore fictionally on the hit television show did not deter people like Carroll who continue to make and sell illegal drugs. "Breaking Bad" did not persuade people to avoid the drug industry; instead, it highlighted it and made ordinary people interested in it.
