The Smallville actor was arrested in Los Angeles by DEA agents and formally charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute oxycodone, a powerful prescription pain medication.
Documents filed in federal court depict Sam Jones as the "Hollywood Connection" in a plot to purchase and distribute oxycodone. The Smallville actor is scheduled to appear later today in federal court in Los Angeles. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison if convicted on the drug conspiracy charges.
The Smallville actor's arrest on illegal oxycodone distribution charges is just the latest in a recent line of troubling Hollywood news stories involving this powerful prescription pain medication and others like it. Currently, oxycodone is at issue in the untimely deaths of both Michael Jackson and Anna Nicole Smith.
