A man who won a contest to watch the season finale of "Breaking Bad" with the cast was arrested on Friday for operating a large-scale drug operation, the Los Angeles Times reported.

"Breaking Bad" and any of its affiliates shouldn't be blamed for inspiring Ryan Lee Carrol, 35, into the business or for allowing him to trade off on his drug distribution skills to win a contest. His operation was large enough -- 700 pounds of drugs valued at around $1.25 million were confiscated from his home --that he'd probably started it long before he began watching Breaking Bad in 2012, the LA Times reported. Plus, the contest he won was a raffle, and in no way related to the drug trade (no drug trivia contest or video/essay explaining how one could improve on Walter White's operation).

"Ironically, Ryan Lee Carroll was a contest winner for the hit TV series 'Breaking Bad'; a show about a chemistry teacher turned drug dealer," went the police statement, according to Reuters.

Like "Breaking Bad's" main character, Walter White, Carrol was known for manufacturing a specific blend of drug; rather than pure meth, however, Carrol made a synthetic drug known as "Spice," a mix of natural herbs and synthetic chemicals. His operation was so large that its seizure was estimated to have significantly limited the supply of Spice nationwide, according to the LA Times.

"The investigation has put a large dent in the availability of 'Spice' nationally," the sheriff's office said.

Based on all reports, Carrol's house acted as a storage facility.

"Inside the home, detectives discovered large rubber bins containing byproducts of the substance, shelves full of containers with thousands of packages of finished product and hundreds of uncashed money orders totaling thousands of dollars," the statement by police said.
