According to CBS News, a real life meth dealer named (believe it or not) Walter White has just been imprisoned for 12 years on the charge of (you guessed it) meth dealing.
Walter White (his real name) drew a stiff 9 year sentence for dealing the dangerous drug methamphetamine. He then drew an additional 3 years due to previous convictions regarding the possession of firearms.
Of course, the name “Walter White” is synonymous with the manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine, one of the world’s most addictive and dangerous illegal substances, thanks to the continuing popularity of the long running TV series, “Breaking Bad”. As millions of people all around the world are aware, Bryan Cranston portrayed a character named Walter White, whose dirty deeds in the drug trade quickly catapulted the series to legendary status.
Meanwhile, the real life Walter White, a resident of Lockwood, Montana, will spend 12 years in state prison after police were summoned to his home following a gunfight in his driveway, during which he got shot by his own son over a drug debt. While he may be enjoying his temporary time in the national spotlight, the price he will pay for that fame is certainly high.
