According to the Great Falls Tribune, a Lockwood, Montana man by the name of Walter White has been sentenced to 12 years in federal prison. Nine of those years are for possession of meth for distribution, while the last three and a half are based on weapons charges.
U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy pinned Walter Jack White (nope, his middle name isn't Hartwell) for the distribution of 32 and a half pounds of meth, which he called an "extraordinary" amount.
White first came to the feds' attention after he was shot in the back by his son, Brandon White--sadly, not a Junior--during an argument over a $10,000 drug debt in January. That incident led to an investigation of the premises, where law enforcement found four ounces of meth--worth about $10,000--two handguns, and more than $15,000 in cash.
Walter White's arrest has resulted in multiple arrests in a series of storage unit break-ins committed by suspects desperate to pay back debts they owed White.
This is the second time in two years that someone named Walter White has gotten in big legal trouble involving meth. Yep, two different Walter Whites. Two different meth cases.
If you ever needed proof that the universe writes fan-fiction...
