Dennis Sica, 36, and John Rohlman, 25, were were arrested in upstate New York for selling heroin linked to at least three deaths by overdose in the Hudson River Valley. The men had apparently laced the heroin with the powerful opiate fentanyl and sold it in packets stamped with the Breaking Bad TV show logo.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said that the mixture of drugs used was "liking adding bullets to a revolver while playing Russian roulette." Though this may be a dubious analogy (maybe I'm missing something here, but isn't cutting heroin with fentanyl sort like cutting heroin with more heroin?), the fact remains that drugs are bad and you shouldn't do them even though they're named after your favorite TV show.
Prosecutors are trying to bring the case to federal court, as state penalties are more lenient.
