Suspect In 'Breaking Bad' Restaurant Robbery Arrested

A man suspected of robbing a New Mexico hot dog restaurant made famous in the AMC-TV series "Breaking Bad" has been arrested.

KOAT-TV in Albuquerque reports that police arrested Isaac Dodge on Sunday after being identified in surveillance video captured from the robbery of the Dog House Drive-In on the historic Route 66.

Albuquerque police say the 40-year-old Dodge used a sawed-off shotgun to rob the hot dog restaurant in June. Authorities say he's also connected to four other armed robberies.

Dog House owner Jimmie Hartley says Dodge got away with around $1,000.

Dodge is charged with five counts of robbery with a deadly weapon.

It was not known if he had an attorney.

"Breaking Bad" was filmed in New Mexico and ended in 2013 amid a massive following.
