I strongly suspect it’s purely a made up name. She was arrested with no ID, was asked her name, she made one up. Not the best idea since she’ll have to give a real name, etc. to make bail and such. But since when are meth users great thinkers? ---

Supposedly there’s a guy from the PNW named **Al Cohol** who was arrested for drunk driving, but I’ve never been able to confirm it actually happened. However, there’s a real-life meth dealer named [Walter White.](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/real-life-walter-white-gets-12-years-in-prison-for-dealing-meth/) ---

These headlines are a popular setup for a specific variety of [meme](https://me.me/i/roses-are-red-melons-are-melony-nbc4-columbus-nbc4i-felon-named-20868071), but I can’t think of one that fits here. ---

She’s 40? I don’t think the term crystal meth was widely known then. Drugs went by other names. Coke, Crack, speed, etc. The slang changes from generation to generation.
