List of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul characters
Huell reappears in "Better Call Saul", initially when Jimmy hires him to plant a cell phone battery in Chuck's pocket as part of Jimmy's defense strategy to discredit Chuck's mental health. Jimmy later hires Huell to serve as a bodyguard while Jimmy conducts his business re-selling pre-paid cellular phones. Huell inadvertently assaults a police officer while protecting Jimmy, and is arrested and faces up to two and a half years in prison as a result. As Jimmy is still disbarred for another month, he brings in Kim Wexler to defend Huell, who plans to jump bail and flee rather than go to prison. To get Huell out of trouble, Jimmy and Kim pull a con on the ADA. The con succeeds in forcing the ADA to accept a plea deal to a lesser misdemeanor, a plea that gets Huell four months probation and time served, ensuring that he doesn't have to go to prison.
