Dumb Criminals: Breaking Bad Contest Winner Wanted On Narcotic Possession

[Initech]

Ryan Carroll was the most envied “Breaking Bad” fan in the nation when he won a trip to Hollywood in September to watch the series finale with the show’s cast.

Turns out the San Carlos Park resident was more than just a fan — it appears he was something of a student of the hit AMC show about a high school chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin.

Carroll, 28, was booked into the Lee County jail at 1:29 a.m. Wednesday on felony charges of possession of a synthetic narcotic with intent to sell and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription. He also faces a misdemeanor charge of keeping a shop or vehicle for dangerous drugs.

It’s unclear from an online booking report what kind of drugs Carroll is accused of possessing, and local authorities are keeping tight-lipped about their “investigation of significance.”

1. I think the drug war is a massive waste of time, energy, and resources.

Take pot- more than half the country, including several past and the current occupant of the White House, have arguably been "drug criminals" for smoking it. So either we have a situation where EVERYONE in the country needs to be put in jail for smoking a forbidden plant, or (my personal choice) the law is fucking stupid and needs to go.
