‘Big Brother 9′ winner ordered to drug center
BOSTON — The winner of the CBS reality television show “Big Brother 9″ has been ordered to undergo substance abuse counseling at a Massachusetts treatment center before being released on bail on drug charges.
Adam Jasinski (jah-ZIN’-skee), of Delray Beach, Fla., has pleaded not guilty to attempting to sell 2,000 pills of oxycodone, the main active ingredient in OxyContin and other painkillers.
A federal agent testified that the 31-year-old Jasinski told him he’d been selling thousands of the pills every month in Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
A judge ruled Tuesday that Jasinski can be released on bail to his parents’ custody, but only after he successfully completes a program at an unnamed Massachusetts residential treatment center.
Prosecutors had asked that Jasinski be held without bail as he awaits trial.
