Real life Breaking Bad - school teacher with cancer deals meth
A MATHS teacher with cancer has been caught trafficking methamphetamine at a Boston school, in what appears to be a real-life version of the hit TV series, Breaking Bad.
Police have charged Stephen Doran, 57, after he allegedly had a package containing around half a kilogram of the drug sent to him at Match Charter Middle School in suburban Boston, where he had been working as a maths tutor.
Doran had been undergoing months of chemotherapy for stage III cancer.
The hit TV show 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 stage III lung cancer.
Walter White cooks and sells meth to pay for medical bills and to support his family after his death.
Police say Stephen Doran left his school at around 12.30pm on Tuesday and was driving in his car when Massachusetts state troopers pulled him over.
In the car, they found a package with two heat-sealed bags containing 480 grams of a crystalline substance believed to be methamphetamine.
When police searched his home, they found evidence consistent with a drug dealing operation, including $10,000 in cash, a digital scale and 38 additional grams of the drug.
They charged Doran with trafficking methamphetamine and violating the state's drug laws in a school zone.
Doran was ordered to remain on home confinement with a GPS device attached to him.
He is allowed to leave his house for medical appointments if he posts $10,000 bail.
A spokesman from Doran's school, Mike Larsson, told CBS television he had "no knowledge, nor any reason to believe, that any staff, teachers, or students were involved in this matter or were in danger in any way".
