Two 'Big Brother' Contestants Linked to Drug Ring

By PopEater Staff Posted Apr 28th 2010 12:31PM

Last fall, Adam Jasinski, the winner of 'Big Brother's' ninth season, was arrested for using his $500,000 winnings to buy thousands of oxycodone pills, planning to resell them. Now, Matthew McDonald, Jasinski's compadre on the reality show, is also being linked to the drug dealing charges.

A federal court in Massachusetts indicted McDonald on Tuesday for his part in an alleged drug operation run by Jasinski, TMZ reports. The indictment states McDonald participated in the drug ring for a year and a half, up to last October.

This news comes just over a week after McDonald's April 18 arrest for assaulting his pregnant fiance. Two days later, he was "busted for trying to bully his pregnant fiance into dropping charges he beat her," police told the New York Daily News.

Police said McDonald, 26, punched his seven-weeks pregnant fiance in the face, kicked her repeatedly, dragged her around her Boston apartment and tried to strangle her.

Jake Wark, a spokesman for the Suffolk County District Attorney's office, told the Boston Herald, "McDonald allegedly choked her and punched her and said, 'I hope your baby dies.'" The Herald also notes that McDonald's 'Big Brother' bio says he is the "biggest liar/sweet talker you will ever meet."

Both McDonald and Jasinski face a maximum of 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine on charges of possession of oxycodone pills with intent to distribute. McDonald could face another "17 or so" years for the assault and battery, the Boston Herald writes.

In October, PopEater reported that federal prosecutors arrested Jasinski after he flew to Boston and showed a witness a sock containing two plastic bags filled with oxycodone, a powerful painkiller that is a popular street drug because of its euphoric effects. As agents tried to arrest Jasinski at a strip mall in North Reading, he struggled and threw the sock under a car parked nearby.

Adam should have used some of the money to get his teeth cleaned.

By Jimdolphfan

I watched Big Brother that season. Adam worked with mentally handicapped children who he referred to on the show as "retards". Well, Adam, who's the retard now? Hope you enjoy your stint on the reality show called PRISON. One word of advise: If you drop your bar of soap, don't bend over to pick it up....loser.

Well said Jim.

BRAVO JIM!!!!!!!! WELL SAID!!!ADAM IS A LOSER! MAYBE CAN CAN USE SOME OF HIS MUSCLES IN JAIL.

By TEVA

Both of these fools will probably walk because of jail over crowding. They may get home arrest Mc Donald may do some time
because he was beating his pregnant wife.But that twenty years thing is a joke it will never happen.

Dear TEVA,

Sad thing is you are probably right, that they will probably walk, so there will be 'nuf space in the prisons for those "heinous marajuana smokers" who are ruining our society with their truly evil ways, smokin' and snakin' and watchin' TV an' all, so you can get 'em good an' easy, right there at home, tokin' away. Now thees' some criminals that need some protection from society so you just' gotta lock them up!

By JULIA

This is a sad situation. Don't expect them to get any time. It just not going to happen. Good lawyers and big money will keep them home.

HAHAHA WHAT A BUNCH OF DUMMIES

Thank You,God for allowing karma to nail his ignorant butt..Hope his cellmate needs a new "girl"friend..

By leon

Maybe if they say they are sorry the court system will let them go. Isn't that the way our judicial system works?

By Scorpioleidy

What a fool!!! This IS the same Adam who ate baby food on the show, right? Stupid!!!

By siflnolly2k2

I sure hope Natalie sees this story and finally gives up her love for "Matty." SHE could have been the pregnant girlfriend being punched around...she sure dodged a bullet!! What a bunch of losers Matt and Adam are.

By Kat

I despised both of these losers on Big Brother because their true character was revealed. I couldn't believe the people who had lived w/Adam voted him the money. Anyone who could work with handicapped children and call them "retards"....well, what more needs to be said?

I am not to surprised that these two ended up in trouble with the law... I didn't like them when I was watching the show...and was unhappy they won. Unlike when Jen won... I loved her... But Matt and Adam while they played well, you could see they weren't what they seemed. As an old lady, I guess I have seen skanks like them before, therefore I can read them better. If you laid down with flea, then you will get up with them, too. I know folks get hooked on drugs, so in some ways I am lucky... my doctor gave them a script for this drug, but all it did was make me very ill...in fact all narcotic's both artificial and natural make me violently ill...the good thing is I won't get hooked on them...the bad thing is it only leaves me with aspirin or Excedrin for extreme pain and after surgery.

By curlyfry117

very well stated.

I think the expression you are looking for is....if you lay down with dogs you will get up with fleas.

I had to admit I did not care for "Nat" with her Bible and then such a lack of character. She would have laid down with the dog "Matty" in a moment, she truly is a bimbo. I hope she has grown up since the show as the person who stated she dodged a bullet said it best.

By Lloyd

This is the same gut that was reading the Bible on the show. I never trust people who lean that sort of stuff as a meansfor people to judge them in a good way. Live it - don'tjust read it.

By tina

They both should have just swallowed that whole load OF pills AND MADE AN EXIT STAGE LEFT OFF THE PLANET. Adam is just an ugly, mean-spirited bully. Never did like him on the show. Hope he's the smallest 'fish' in the jailhouse pool and learns real quick what it is to be someone else's bit*h. I don't even remember Matt from the show. Guess he wasn't that impressive a contestant.
