Walter White Wanted on Meth Charges - Really!

Bryan Cranston isn't in trouble, but a real-life Walter White is.

Posted by Palm Desert Patch Staff (Editor), August 17, 2012 at 06:13 pm

Too strange to be anything but true.

Co-owner of the Cinemas Palme d'Or in Palm Desert, actor Bryan Cranston portrays a school teacher turned meth manufacturer named Walter White on AMC's smash hit series "Breaking Bad".

A 55-year old Alabama man, also named Walter White, is now wanted by Tuscaloosa County police for.. all together now... manufacturing methamphetamine.

More on the life imitates art coincidence is available here.

Sylvain Kustyan, also wanted by the Tuscaloosa Sheriff's Dept. on charges of 1st Degree Sodomy and Sexual Abuse of a ten-year-old little boy, is currently on the lam. For the sake of all other little boys, I hope, he, too, will soon be found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8J5feU9h9Q.

You';re welcome, Renee but I don't really expect thanks for my contributions to the classroom.
