Ex-'Big Brother' winner Adam Jasinski indicted

Former "Big Brother" winner Adam Jasinski, who was arrested last month in a drug sting, has now been indicted in the case.

A federal grand jury in Boston handed down charges of possession of oxycodone with intent to distribute on Wednesday against the 31-year-old Jasinski, several news outlets report. Jasinski was arrested on Oct. 17 in North Reading, Mass., after allegedly telling an undercover DEA agent that he was planning to sell oxycodone pills up and down the East Coast.

The kicker? According to prosecutors, Jasinski told the agent he was using the $500,000 he won on the winter 2008 edition of "Big Brother" to finance the operation.

Prior to going on "Big Brother," Jasinski worked as a public relations manager for the United Autism Foundation. That gig ended when he called the kids the foundation helps "retards" during an episode of the show.

He's being held without bail after a judge deemed him a flight risk. If he's convicted, Jasinski could face as many as 20 years in federal prison.
