Walter White Lookalike Wanted On Meth-Related Charges In Illinois
The suspect wanted on meth-related charges bears a striking resemblance to the "Breaking Bad" protagonist.

GALESBURG, IL — Police in Galesburg, Illinois, are looking for a man accused of violating probation whose booking photo posted on the Galesburg Police Department Facebook page has people commenting, "Walter White, is that you?"
Todd Barrick Jr., 50, of Galesburg, bears a striking resemblance to Walter White, the main character of the AMC hit TV show "Breaking Bad" (see below). From the bald head, to the facial hair and even his expression, Facebook users appear to be having a great time posting comments related to White and "Breaking Bad" under the booking photo.
However, Barrick's appearance isn't the only similarity he shares with the fictional character.
