"They didn't find stacks of monies, White remarked. They did not find stacks of dope. They did not find guns. White noted how his arrest did not yield the kind of pictures often published by police departments after drug busts in which money, weapons and narcotics are laid out atop tables."
"If they've literally been following me for years, as they said, somebody's got to answer to their boss about what an incredible waste of resources it was, White continued. I'm saying if they found anything, it was maybe $250 worth, and it wasn't even mine."
"He's definitely no Walter White, said a statement attributed to Clarksville's police chief, Nathan Walls, explicitly referencing Breaking Bad's protagonist: a high school chemistry teacher who is diagnosed with cancer, starts to distribute crystal meth."
Alan Jay White, a 59-year-old former college dean in Clarksville, Indiana, was arrested after police found 78 grams of suspected methamphetamine and counterfeit cash in his home. Police had allegedly targeted White for years, nicknaming him "the professor" due to his educational background. White was charged with illegal methamphetamine distribution, counterfeiting, and drug paraphernalia possession. After his release pending trial, White disputed ownership of the drugs, arguing the amount was minimal and questioning why police would waste years investigating if they found so little. The arrest prompted police to reference the TV show Breaking Bad, with the police chief noting White was "definitely no Walter White," referencing the show's protagonist.
