'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.

How can a truck be ill? Trucks aren't organisms, so they aren't subject to disease.

Synthetic marijuana is illegal?
Does it contain THC?

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.
