Walter White is gone, but not forgotten—or maybe he's not even really gone at all. A man was busted while driving around Manhattan with $1.6 million worth of crystal meth in his trunk this week, and his wares looked...rather similar to Heisenberg's beloved Blue Sky. It may be blue, but it's the bomb!
According a criminal complaint filed yesterday, 33-year-old Mario Hernandez was arrested during a traffic stop near the Holland Tunnel on Wednesday. Two narcotics officers searched his car and discovered several bags full of blue meth, weighing approximately 880 ounces. The Daily News estimates that its street value is around $1.6 million.
Hernandez, who has an address in Illinois, was arrested and charged criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second and third degree. His lawyer claims his client didn't know the meth was in his car. "He's a professional painter," his girlfriend told the News. "He works hard for a living. He's a really good man."
He's currently being held on $500K bail.
