Man named Walter White who was caught ‘shooting up’ meth on his own toilet

A Florida man named Walter White was arrested on Wednesday for violating his probation sentence he received when deputies found him ‘shooting up’ methamphetamine while sitting on his toilet. 

Lake County Sheriff’s Office deputies collared 29-year-old White after an arrest warrant was issued in nearby Polk County, were White was convicted on December 10 of possessing meth and drug paraphernalia.

While Breaking Bad’s version of Walter White never gets caught by authorities during his run as a kingpin, Florida’s White was initially arrested in November when sheriff’s deputies searched his White Haven home.

Authorities were there to conduct a follow-up investigation of a child welfare case ‘involving narcotics’ and did not believe anyone was home at the time.

Deputies found White in the home’s bathroom in the middle of ‘shooting up’ meth.  

‘Upon entry into the restroom I observed Walter White sitting on the toilet holding a loaded syringe in one had that he threw on the floor and an orange syringe cap in his right hand,’ the arrest warrant reads.

White was then detained in handcuffs in the home’s living room while deputies continued to search the premises. 

They found a container holding a bag of meth, a digital scale, syringes and ‘glass bulbous pipes’ on the living room couch. 

White later admitted to owning the items and using meth. 

He was put on probation for 18 months, as well as being ordered to pay fines and court costs. 

Special conditions of White’s probation include an alcohol ban, random urinalysis testing and a 10pm to 6am curfew.  

Court records don’t indicate how White violated his probation, but he is being held in the Lake County Jail without a bond ahead of a January 29 court appearance. 

White is shown to have at least 11 tattoos and records show he has the name ‘Skylar’ inked onto his left arm. 

In Breaking Bad, Walter White’s wife was named ‘Skyler.’

AMC’s Breaking Bad last aired in 2015 and stared main character Walter White, a high school chemistry teacher who manufactures crystal meth to secure his family’s finances after he is diagnosed with lung cancer. 

The TV show has garnered several awards, like 16 Prime Time Emmy Awards from 58 nominations
