Ex-Dean Arrested in Meth Bust: 'The Professor' Accused
16 Mar
Summary
- Former educator Alan White, known as 'the professor,' was arrested.
- Police found 78 grams of suspected meth and counterfeit cash.
- White claims the drugs found in his home did not belong to him.
Alan Jay White, a former college dean known by the nickname 'the professor,' was arrested on March 7, 2026, following a raid on his Clarksville, Indiana home. Authorities discovered 78 grams of suspected methamphetamine and counterfeit currency, deeming the quantity too large for personal use. White was subsequently charged with drug trafficking, counterfeiting, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Clarksville police stated they had been investigating White, 59, for years, using his former position as an educator to explain his nickname. White, after being released on bond, contested the police's claims, asserting that the discovered substances were not his and that the amount of money and drugs found was minimal. He questioned the effectiveness of the lengthy investigation.
White's career included a stint as dean of Indiana University Southeast's school of business starting in 2007. His LinkedIn profile indicates he is now semi-retired from education and self-employed in home renovation. This arrest has drawn comparisons to the fictional television series "Breaking Bad."
