BOSTON -– A Massachusetts teacher has been arrested for trafficking methamphetamine after he allegedly received a package of the illegal substance at his school.

Stephen Doran, 57, a tutor at the Match Charter Middle School in the suburb of Jamaica Plain in Boston, was arrested Tuesday afternoon and held on $10,000 bail.

And in a twist straight out of hit AMC show Breaking Bad, sworn testimony revealed Doran has been battling stage III cancer for months and is undergoing chemotherapy.

Breaking Bad's central character, Walter White, played by Emmy award-winning actor Bryan Cranston, is a school teacher who starts trafficking drugs after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

Authorities said Doran left the school with the package at about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday. State police troopers pulled him over and opened the package, recovering two heat-sealed baggies containing 480 grams of crystalline substance believed to be methamphetamine. Doran was placed under arrest, and because the substance was sent to the school he was additionally charged with violating the state's drug laws in a school zone.

Based on the seizure, authorities obtained another warrant to search Doran's Dorchester home. There they recovered an additional 38 grams of the substance and about $10,000 in cash, a digital scale, and other items consistent with drug distribution.

because mobile meth labs have been in the news a few times.
then last month's boston bomber claimed to have learned how to dispose a body from the tub scene
around the same time someone sent a package containing ricin to the white house

this one's just ironic because the teacher is also battling cancer

sad that people see the show as a glorification for crime

it's not glorifying crime. it's glorifying entrepreneurship.

It's very hypocritical to be rocking that avatar (glorifying Saul) and at the same saying it's "sad" the show glorifies crime.

it's an Internet avatar of a character that provides great comic relief to a dark show...so what?

That's like saying the people here who recite the silly Johnny Tran lines from the Fast and the Furious movie are advocates of car theft :troll:

I'm not endorsing money laundering... i take it at for what it is...entertainment.

hope this isn't how it ends for walter as well
