Adam "Baller" Jasinski, winner of the winter 2008 edition of "Big Brother," was arrested over the weekend for allegedly attempting to sell 2,000 oxycodone pills to a government witness. Prosecutors say he's been using his $500,000 winnings to fund his drug business.

Via the Associated Press, Federal prosecutors said Jasinski was arrested Saturday after he flew to Boston and showed the government witness his bags full of oxycodone. Authorities also said that Jasinski admitted to using his "Big Brother" winnings to buy thousands of oxycodone pills and has been reselling them up and down the East Coast.

We suppose he had to find something to do for work, since prior to "Big Brother" he worked in PR for an autism foundation but decided to call them "retards" while on the show. Now that's good PR. The exact quote was, "I do PR work for an autism foundation. I want to do a hair salon for kids with special needs so retards can get it together and get their hair done."

Very few of the contestants on that show ever make something of themselves. It's really sad. They try to capitalize on their 15 minutes of fame and it goes nowhere. Hey maybe they should become a friend of Brody Jenner!! Everyone he seems to come in contact with becomes a celebrity....for what I'm not quite sure!!

FYI: Fellow castmate and Boston lowlife Matty McDonald was the government informant who wore a wire and set up Adam so he could get away with house arrest and rehab for the same charges Adam will get 10 years for.

That winter edition (during the writer's strike) was the worst season ever. All the contestants were low-life freaks. Thank goodness the show was able to return to awesomeness since then.

I liked Alex. But, I agree, that season was awful.

When I think of all the people I see on INTERVENTION struggling with this oxy addiction...I know there are thousands more going through the same thing. I am glad they caught him and surely hope they lock him up and lose the key.
