They Call Him “Heisenberg”
In the files of “life imitating art” let’s add this story.
From the trades:
Two college professors, one with the nickname Heisenberg, have been arrested and charged with making methamphetamine. Bradley Allen Rowland, 40, and Terry Bateman, 45, were arrested Friday afternoon, according to the Clark County, Arkansas Sheriff’s Department. Both are both associate professors of chemistry at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
Yeah. Making meth in your college basement is sure to not get you noticed.
Say My Name…
Apparently, Professor Rowland is nicknamed Heisenberg by his college students, and he admired the show Breaking Bad because it “encourages students to learn chemistry.”
No word on whether Professor Rowland has a porkpie hat, or not though.

The part that the two professors forgot about the show was the criminal element.
See, it’s not just enough to know how to make meth, you also have to know how to avoid the attention of the law by learning what the guys below know.
The story continues:
The meth lab was discovered when a university science lab was closed on Oct. 8 after an overwhelming odor was reported. An environmental services company was called in to do remediation work to ventilate the lab, [and subsequent] lab tests to determine the cause of the odor found traces of Benzyl chloride, a chemical that can be used to synthesize methamphetamine, among its other uses.
And that’s how you get caught.
Tell us about the time you tried to sell drugs, Goblins.
