On March 1, "Breaking Bad" star Bryan Cranston reported that someone broke into his car at Sandia Peak, N.M. in December, stealing a bag that held an iPad and a copy of a season five script of "Breaking Bad"--the hit show's final season.

On Saturday, New Mexico authorities arrested Xavier McAfee for the crime. From ABC, who obtained the criminal complaint from the police:

" 'The criminal complaint revealed how one of Cranston’s employees, Taryn Feingold, was contacted by a confidential informant. The informant detailed to Feingold, and later the Sheriff’s Office, about overhearing a man at a local bar bragging about how he broke into a vehicle in the Sandia Mountain Range. He then showed his friends at the bar 'some type of laptop or iPad,' the complaint read, while 'describing how he also had a script from the ‘Breaking Bad’ series.' "

However, police have not recovered a copy of the script, so let's hope that no spoilers come out before the last half of season five premieres this summer.
