'Breaking Bad' fan arrested in drug bust Posted: Jan 01, 2014 4:29 PM EST Updated: Jan 02, 2014 2:40 PM EST By Hollie Hojek, Reporter

SAN CARLOS PARK, FL -
On Thursday, deputies revealed exactly what was found in the New Year's Eve raid of a San Carlos Park home.
In a bizarre twist, one of the men involved in the drug bust appeared on our station just a few months before – for a very different reason.
Deputies found over $1 million in street value of synthetic marijuana at 28-year-old Ryan Lee Carroll's home and two other homes on New Year's Eve.
Carroll, who is being seen as the ring leader of the operation, was interviewed in September after he won a nationwide contest to meet the cast of the hit television show ‘Breaking Bad.'
Investigators say the drugs were mixed, packaged, and shipped out of three homes in Florida.
The synthetic marijuana was shipped nationally as far as Mexico, according to investigators.
Carroll, Benjamin Smith and James Allen were all arrested on felony charges of possession of synthetic narcotics and a misdemeanor charge of keeping a shop or vehicle for dangerous drugs.
He spoke to us back in September about why he loved the show so much.
"It's just so addicting. It's such a good show. I think its addicting because people can relate to the main character," said Carroll.
In the show, the main characters make meth.
"It is bizarre, I'll give you that. If it turns out to be true, media certainly influences the way that we live, but I would imagine his dealings would have been before then," said resident Peter Ryther.
Dozens of deputies conducted a search warrant at Carroll's home on New Year's Eve, while neighbors watched.
"I was just shocked, especially here. This is such a good neighborhood," said Coyne.

Shit, after further reading up on it, turns out he also got a violation of probation because he was on probation for a DUI from a couple months ago!
He's screwed. And they got his sexy truck.

The US government progressively schedules synthetic Cannabinoids as they hit the street, which is why they're always changing...
Apparently more severe side effects are rather common with some of the stuff, I don't think I can defend it.

If you drive any truck long enough you'll see how.

Synthetic marijuana would be illegal because it's still marijuana whether or not it came from a lab, but I don't know why someone wouldn't just grow it.
Cannabinoids on the other hand would depend on which one it is, but since a lot are scheduled (JWH-018 for example) many fall under the Analog act as illegal federally. the police will seize and charge one as if it were illegal since they don't know the exact chemical makeup until they test it. if they're not analogous to a scheduled substance then they would have to drop the charges when the lab tests come back.

I don't know how to feel about this. The problem with synthetic pot busts is that it really depends on which rc is being sprayed on that shit. For some of them my philosophy would be, "Eh, he didn't do anything too bad" for others I'd say, "Give him the fucking chair"

the part OP forgot to include (dont think the reporter added til after he posted) answers that I think:
Quote:
But some neighbors said there were a few red flags.
"Frequently maybe once twice a week, maybe more than that, there would be UPS, FED Ex delivery trucks dropping packages off," said neighbor Judy Rosser.
Rosser adds, "saw very exclusive cars coming in and out of there a lot. Range Rovers, and Cadillacs, so that would be the only thing that tipped somebody off."
The sheriff's office says it was actually a tip from an unspecified shipping company that led to the drug bust.
"I think it's pretty clear to everybody that we made a significant dent in a local operation that was flooding our streets with poison," said Sheriff Scott.
I'm guessing there's money in running a so-called "synthetic marijuana ring", hence the reason one would do it.

I almost don't want to get into this but what is your definition of an honest drug dealer? For all we know he could have been selling to kids or ripping people off. Not saying he is but that is a bold statement considering we have little information on the operation.

I have no reason to question the man's business practices, he was arrested due to prohibition and that's all I have reason to acknowledge.

I don't think this guy falls under the category of "putting honest businessmen in jail for nothing".
I mean it is illegal to sell the stuff. Not only that depending on what compound he was using he might as well be selling heroin or krokodil.

This guy was selling unknown little researched chemicals sprayed onto plant matter and marketed almost exclusively as "fake weed" possibly to kids who do not know any better and do not have the resources to perform extensive research on substances before they ingest them. You may want to suck his dick but I would smash his head in if he sold that shit to someone I care about. That is my business so by your own standards you should respect that.

Don't tell me what my standards are son.
He sold a product to people willing to buy the product, it wasn't advertised as legit marijuana - it was advertised as 'fake weed'. The buyer should know what that entails and if they don't its their fault. You fools are supporting the same system that's put millions in jail over marijuana and lsd, let alone everything else.

I can't stand people discriminating on what drugs should be illegal and which should not. if the guy wasn't hanging around play grounds, force feeding rc to kids, he was selling a product to customers who want it. I'm pretty sure kids are gonna do whatever seems fUN and not give a shit about the health dangers.

Okay mister English teacher. Hardly hypocritical. There is a huge difference between marijuana and chemicals probably produced in someones bath tub containing anything under the kitchen sink. There are literally thousands of chemicals that get sprayed on spice. You never know what your getting. You could be killing or severely injuring someones health. Its none of my business. True. Im speaking on morals. It ain't right. I'm not a cop though. I didn't arrest him. I could have cared less if he was still doing him. However he was caught, he knew he was commiting multiple crimes, and therefore shouldn't have you (his attorney apparently) jumping down peoples throats to defend him.

If you aren't for freedom of consumption, then you're a prohibitionist. If you pick and choose the good and bad drugs then you have no more moral highground than the governments that dictate the exact same to us.
I wouldn't ever touch spice, crack, coke, or meth but everybody should be free to do as they please, within reasonable, peaceful bounds.
Just remember marijuana is under prohibition too, and you break the law when you smoke.
Quote:
Martin Niemöller Said: First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Socialists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.
Civil disobedience is what will free us of prohibition; If nobody smoked pot or shot dope, arguing for drug rights would just be piss in the wind. He should be extended the same sympathy as any victim of the war on drugs, because he was a victim. If you pick and choose because of the drug he's selling then you're playing with semantics.
It was clearly labelled as spice, so anybody who chose to smoke it did so of their own knowledge. You can't blame the man who sold it if it harms other people, because they either knew this, or should've known this.

a lot of those weed alternative ppl disclose what the chem is, a lot don't. I'll agree with you it's wrong if they don't tell you what it is. but if it weren't for ppl like yourself making it so they have to keep changing the formula, they probably would be a little more inclined to say what the chem is.
i think they should just smoke marijuana like the next guy, but look at how it is when the coin is turned and people look down on yourself for smoking marijuana. a lot of ppl smoke this shit cuz they have no choice due to the discrimination of marijuana users, the same kind of discrimination you display. marijuana happens to stay in ur system so long it's a risk for jobs, a risk for probationers, and even a risk for ppl traveling to places like Dubai where they've been known to drug test ppl at the airport and then arrest them for having weed in their system.
drug prohibition is 99% of the problem with drugs including the 'deadly' ones like heroin.

That might be the case, but the government's laws are not an accurate representation of the entire population.
People with felonies are denied the right to vote. If the felons who committed drug related crimes were allowed it vote, it could have a significant effect on the drug policy.

Im so on the fence with this topic. I feel as if there are good and bad drugs but at some point in life they may all have their use. Psychedelics seem to treat most well and arent toxic at all...but there are those few that might get a bad trip out of it and i say it was there choice to begin with whether they wanted to do it...so it should be legal. However an addiction isnt under their control. So say heroin on the other hand or hell even synthetic noids im confused about...if say one day you get hurt really bad but dont wanna pay the hospital bills and go through that mess you could just go to your gas station and get a bag while you tough it out...so it might have its use sporadically there.
On the other hand what if some 21 year old is having a bad day and decides to just use it once and it spirals out of control like it commonly does, did he want that to happen? No...so i feel like having it completely legal would be difficult to work out but idk. Maybe have dope legal and suboxone next to it on the shelf so in case someone does get hooked they can use subs to taper off and quit. Its a tough decision and i understand the thinking on both sides

There's that and the misinformation spread for almost 100 years regarding drug use, by a handful of people with a lot of money/influence. People are dumb enough to buy into it, they're dumb enough to be at fault, but its not a simple matter

I am a HUGE supporter of legalizing ALL legitimate drugs. By "Legitimate" I mean ANY substance that has little to no medical use whatsoever. I figure that within 5 years, most of the major issues would be cleared up. All the dummies would have OD'd and died, and the intelligent ones would see this, and make decisions based on real facts, and not the (Mostly) propaganda.
Obviously drugs created by pharm to treat problems would be a separate thing entirely.
Aside from huge money, I never understood how alcohol and cigarettes have made it this far. They are legal, highly dangerous and will kill you from varying amounts of exposure. Alcohol OD can kill you just as fast as a Heroine OD. I hate using that comparison, because I have been known to have a few drinks but never ever tried any "hard" drugs ever...(Well, I did try coke once and hated it). Organic & natural controlled substance work well for me. I trust mother nature more than any human in any lab....Hell, I trust mother nature more than any human.

Anyone who thinks this shit doesn't get sold to kids Is full of shit. So does weed but guess what? Weed doesn't kill you. Also to the people that think that most dealers of spice disclose which chemical they spray on it or that every drug user does extensive research on the substances they use; you are so naive. Maybe in a perfect world but we don't live there and never will. Also correcting grammar is such a NOOB thing to do. It does nothing for the discussion and makes you look like a nitpicking little bitch.

To clarify to all the thin skinned people: I do not think any drugs should be illegal. I am smart enough to recognize the difference between a drug and a mixture of unknown chemicals that is potentially deadly. Apples and oranges bitches. Also just because there is a demand for something does not mean it is harmless. There is a demand for Child Porn does that mean it should be legal? You people need to go back to debate school.

I dont think niteman realises it's harder for kids to get things from the store than it is from a drug dealer, hence how they have no problem getting weed but have to find someone willing to take the risk of getting them alcohol. a majority of people won't do that. kids can get ahold of anything adults can if they try hard enough, that's unavoidable no matter what provisions you take. why you think school shootings occur? because kids time to time can get ahold of guns and that can't be stopped unless your eerily monitoring them 24/7.
I do think the companies should be made to disclose what is in their blends and from there it should be up to the consumer. just like it is with anything else.
not everyone researches what drugs they take, they also don't research what foods they eat or how their lack of sleep, long commute to work, and habit of sitting stationary in front of a box is slowly killing them. one's health should be up to them how serious they wanna be about it. some ppl are die-hard freaks who wanna live to 100, others don't really care if they join the 27 club. your desire to control others shouldn't dictate how they live.
the difference between child porn and drug prohibition is night and day also. yes there's a demand for child porn like drugs, but the difference is that with child porn there are VICTIMS. harm was purposely done to a child. there is no comparison between a guy who is addicted to heroin and hurting only himself and someone who has done permanent psychological damage to a child. unless that guy is robbing ppl for his heroin fix but that's where you're grasping at straws because that's not an effect of a drug, rather an effect of being selfish. every now and then you hear of someone who robs a gas station for a carton of cigarettes. I know many ppl with drug addictions who never affected anyone else positively or negatively. a lot of ppl don't realize that drug addicts a lot of the time are hard-working middle class white folks in the suburbs. this reality is becoming more evident and people say 'oh man heroin use has increased' when actually they're just now noticing it. which goes to show their problem was only hurting themselves.
curiously, methamphetamine is the most addictive of the popular drugs and only 10% who try it even get addicted. that's according to the DEA, you know the ppl telling you how bad it is.

Just for the record, I'd like to add that I don't agree/condone with what he was doing and I'm not going to publicly state my opinion and stance on the legal situation with "spice" or "synthetic cannabis"... I just wanna say that I don't/never have smoked the stuff and I never will. From what I've learned as a biology major in bio/chem classes, plus my gardening experience, I don't think smoking the blends of herbs/incense/flowers/whatever else is very good for you... probably very bad for your brain and lungs, etc., and I will never have any part in that.
I just delivered pizza to the guy and he was really kind... like he went out of his way to be polite and always tipped very well- more than almost all customers.
Lee County, FL (which is where I reside, I actually live 10 mins from that guy) is currently doing a huge operation against "spice" and all that. Multiple gas stations have been busted since last summer, too. It has only been illegal for a little while and I guess a lot of folks were still selling it.
Also a lot going down here when it comes to undercover drug operations and stuff. You hear/read a lot about people getting arrested for selling cocaine/weed to undercover officers and confidential informants.... much of which occurs within school zones and stuff.
Crazy stuff.. stay in school, kids.
Cheers

Dude I uust love how people twist my words. To make it easier for everyone to comprehend I will put it into bullet points.
- We are not talking about a store that sells something we are talking about an individual.
- He wasn't selling heroin. I don't give two fucks about heroin.
- He was selling plant matter sprayed with some sort of chemical which we do not know.
- He may or may not have been telling people the chemical on the plant matter.
- If he sells it to someone without telling them what they are buying they would be a victim of misinformation and possibly become a VICTIM of physical harm.
- If that is your idea of an honest and responsible businessman I hope I never have to score from you.

I am making the assumption he was selling this product to gas stations. He might not have been but if he was shipping it all across the US and to Mexico even it would be very reasonable to assume this guy was running some sort of company. There's not really much demand to have this shipped across the US otherwise. He may very well have been an online vendor. We don't know with the info we have but the latter we'll learn if that's the case. I'm not convinced many drug dealers would know enough people all across the US to ship fake weed. Real weed on the other hand...

HAHAHAH how in the absolute FUCK do you buy fake weed and know its not fake weed?
Doesn't matter what chem is in it, it's fucking fake weed, you should generally accept you may/will have health problems after use of fake weed.
if you WANT TO BUY fake weed this guy was selling it. it's not like he was selling it as real weed, or could even get away with that.
If you want to buy krokodil, that is your deal... if you don't KNOW about what you are buying it is YOUR fault for not researching or ignoring the dangers.
This is nothing like selling nbomes to people as LSD who have never had lsd.
Even then, nbomes should be legal. EVERYTHING SHOULD BE LEGAL. then all the fucking retards who can't research what they are ingesting will od and we won't have that person who ruins something for everyone else around.
