DOTHAN, Alabama – A Houston County Circuit Court judge was unsympathetic to a former Dothan firefighter’s claim that the TV show “Breaking Bad” influenced him to make methamphetamine and sentenced him Friday to 14 years in jail, according to a report in The Dothan Eagle.

Elmo Boyd, 41, who was initially arrested in January 2012 along with 44-year-old Clarence Ray Griffith, pleaded guilty in November to a charge of possession and manufacturing methamphetamine. Read the initial AL.com report here.

"I did make it," Boyd told the Dothan Eagle. "It was twice. I never sold it. It was because I saw 'Breaking Bad' and thought I could do something."

Walter White, the main character in the AMC series, is a school teacher who learns he is terminally ill and begins making meth to make money for his family.

Circuit Judge Larry Anderson sentenced Boyd to two years in jail on the possession charge and 12 years on the manufacturing charge. A probation hearing for Boyd will be held in April.
