"​Breaking Worse": N.M. inmate hid meth in toes, complaint says

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- He wasn't exactly a Walter White, the Albuquerque chemistry teacher-turned drug dealer in "Breaking Bad," but New Mexico authorities do say that one inmate found a most unusual way to store meth.

Authorities say the 34-year-old man arrested for taking part in an auto theft ring tried to hide methamphetamine between his toes.

KOB-TV in Albuquerque reports a criminal complaint says police arrested 34-year-old Randy Dominguez on Friday after he was found in a stolen car. Investigators say Dominguez was part of an operation that would steal vehicles and then sell them in Mexico.

When Dominguez was later searched in jail, guards reportedly found methamphetamine in-between his toes.

Dominguez is facing auto theft charges, at the least.

He is being held on a $2,500 cash or surety bond.
