'Smallville' Actor Sam Jones Sentenced To 1 Year in Jail for Drug Bust

By Christo Varghese Posted Jun 23rd 2011 03:30AM

'Smallville' actor Sam Jones III, has been sentenced to a year in prison for his role in a drug ring.

TMZ is reporting that Jones plead guilty to conspiracy to sell more than 10,000 pills of Oxycodone, a painkiller, and was sentenced to 366 days in prison, even though the prosecutor wanted him to serve 5 years.

It is reported that before sentencing Jones pleaded with the judge to show mercy explaining that he had lost everything including his dog, car and his acting role in 'Blue Mountain State' due to the drugs charges.

The judge showed leniency and said he was cutting the actor a break due to his "minor" role in the drug deal.

E! Online is reporting that in addition to the jail term, the judge has ordered that Jones to serve three years supervised probation once he's released from a jail.

Jones Tweeted a message after his sentencing, "Just got out of court! God is Great!! #FAITH!!!"

The 28-year-old actor was busted in 2009 after a raid at his home was conducted by DEA agents looking to shut down a drug ring trading in the illegal purchase and distribution of Oxycontin.

Jones, currently free on bond, will have to surrender to authorities once it is determined which prison he will be going to serve his sentence.

Last week Jones' ex girlfriend, Playboy model Karissa Shannon, reportedly packed up and moved into the Playboy Mansion with her twin sister Kristina to be back with Hugh Hefner.

The Shannon Twins were Hefner's girlfriends in 2008 and moved out when the 85-year-old playboy founder announced his engagement to his now 'Runaway Bride' Crystal Harris, in 2010.

They are now back to console Hefner, after Harris left him a few days before the marriage, along with his reported new girlfriend Anna Sophia Berglund.

Loser is misspelled.

By Red Sam Rackham

The folks who don't know the difference between LOOSER (opposite of tighter) and LOSER (non-winner) are probably the same folks who type "should of" instead of "should've" or "should have" ... How did such folks ever manage to graduate the 8th grade? LOL☺

By leon

I am not sure which part of the story is the main event. A drug bust of an actor or a girl moving back in with Hugh Hefner.

By delacourte

However you look at it,it's pathetic. An old man refusing to act dignified,young women looking to get rich off the old fool and a talented actor throwing away his career by being stupid. Fools,all.

By Matt

Your spelling is fine. It is your grammar and your inability to use the caps lock key that make you look ignorant.

I guess the greatest slap in the face is knowing your girlfriend dumped you for an 85-year-old man.

By lita

So he lost his, his car, an acting role. So? He elected to get involved with drugs and went beyond just using. That's the risk you take when you knowingly do something illegal and of this import. He needs to go have a good cry, serve his time like the man he's supposed to be, and not pull another stupid stunt. Oh, and quit whining about a problem that he caused himself.

By Kathryn

Maybe he should contact Lindsay's attorney, she seems to be able to avoid jailtime.

By kat

Somebody save him . . . I don't care how you do it just save . . him . .

"Just got out of court! God is Great!! #FAITH!!!" ???! I think if you truly followed the "teachings" of the lord, you probably wouldn't be in this mess in the first place. I'm not a believer, but I can't stand hypocrits who use religion or faith only when it's convenient for them.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
