Big Brother Winner Arrested
I have never seen a minute of Big Brother and have no idea who Adam Jasinski is. But, is winning a CBS reality show a one way ticket to the slammer?
One day after original "Survivor" winner Richard Hatch was finally let out of a Massachusetts jail, Jasinski was arrested in a massive oxycodone bust. In fact, he told a federal agent he used his $500,000 prize to buy thousands of oxycodone pills and resell them.
He has been charged with attempting to sell 2,000 pills in Massachusetts to a government witness.
I'm surprised he wasn't also charged with resisting arrest. He struggled during his arrest, which occurred after he flew to Boston and showed a government witness a sock containing two plastic bags filled with oxycodone. His answer after struggling was to throw the sock under a parked car nearby.
He faces a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine on a charge of possession of oxycodone pills with intent to distribute.
Jasinski's lawyer, Valerie Carter, has not issued a statement.

Ahh, Adam. He was the Big Brother contestant that SEEMED super-nice, then you watched the live feeds and realized he worked for an autism fund and told everyone he "helped retarded kids." Awesome, right? Yes, awesome. He's a classy guy all around.

Ugh. Like most people from Big Brother, this dude was a Tooly McToolerson. I hope he does hard time.

Do they only hire complete cretins on this show?

That really is a shame, because he said he wanted to help kids in need with the money he won.
