A "brilliant" Long Island scientist who started a drug lab to make crystal meth was arrested after he accidentally turned himself in to police.
Does that sound familiar to you?
So it turns out we found the real Heisenberg from "Breaking Bad" somewhere in the New York area - only he probably wasn't smart enough like Walter White to evade the police.
The scientist called the police last year to report a break-in to his facility - without stopping to think that the police might do a little more than what he asks of them and investigate what exactly is in this facility.
23-year-old Matthew Lashinsky called the police around 3:30 a.m. on June 7 to report a burglary that was taking place during those hours at his facility in Bronkonkoma, the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office said.
When the district police arrived at the scene, the officers found shards of glass at the entrance to the laboratory, which they examined and concluded that it was secretly producing methamphetamine and other illegal substances, including dimethyltryptamine (the hallucinogenic drug DMT), according to the district attorney's office.
More than 100 items of laboratory equipment, chemical reagents and solvents that go into meth were found at the scene, along with more than 90 grams of crystal meth, 625,000 milligrams of pure ketamine and 20 plastic jugs of gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), which is similar to the drug.

The police also found about 40 thousand dollars in cash.

"The defendant operated a 'Breaking Bad'-style drug lab and tried to hide it under the guise of a legitimate business," said District Attorney Ray Tierney, referring to the drama series in which a chemistry teacher discovers he has terminal cancer and opens a drug manufacturing lab, "I want to thank the district police officers who identified evidence of a clandestine drug lab during their initial arrival on the scene, as well as to our prosecutors and other members of law enforcement for their efforts and cooperation in investigating the defendant for the deadly drugs he put on the streets."

Lashinsky claimed on his LinkedIn page that his laboratory, Quantitative Laboratories LLC, performs analysis for cannabis.
Although he admitted to the investigation of the production of the powerful and deadly drugs, his lawyer tried to paint a positive picture of his client.
Attorney David Basso told Newsday that his client is a brilliant scientist who studied the harms of drug addiction "for the public good" and denied selling meth from his lab.
Although he claimed that Shinsky had applied for a license from the Department of Environmental Conservation, he was working on the necessary licenses when he was arrested.
"Unfortunately, he did it the wrong way," Basso told the newspaper.
