SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — For nearly a decade Stephen Kinzey worked as a professor of kinesiology, the study of human movement, at California State University, San Bernardino. A few students complained online that he showed up late for class and could lose his focus. But that was about it.

Now, the police say, Mr. Kinzey, 43, is a man on the run, wanted on suspicion of being the ringleader of a circle of methamphetamine dealers and the president of the Devils Diciples, an outlaw motorcycle gang. (The group spells its name as such.)

Investigators from the San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department said that they were unable to locate Mr. Kinzey, who they say supplied a ring of midlevel and street dealers with methamphetamine, a persistent scourge in the working-class cities east of Los Angeles.

“One side of him was a successful and productive member of society, but the other side of him is an outlaw motorcycle gang leader,” said Sgt. Paul Wynn, a lead investigator of the case. “He was the highest-ranking person in the group, without a doubt.”

4. Was his brother-in-law a DEA agent?

Actually, I'm surprised there aren't more chemists turning to making crystal meth and other drugs, especially in today's economy.

14. Well, he is. Just a bit smarter, and under different circumstances.

The greatest scene ever in that was when he heard he was going to live. How he saw his reflection afterwards in the bathroom towel dispenser and smashed it up in an absolute rage.

It'd be cool to see how he goes from being a fry cook to this guy who is so deadly and careful. I was just telling my best friend this last night. lol
