'Big Brother' Winner Arrested for Drug Dealing
Posted Oct 20th 2009 9:00AM by TMZ Staff

Adam "Baller" Jasinski won "Big Brother" in 2008 -- and now he'll be sharing living space with even more strangers behind bars ... because cops say he used his $500,000 winnings to fund a drug dealing business.

According to FOX 25, Jasinski was busted Saturday night by the DEA with 2,000 oxycodone pills during an attempted drug deal in North Reading, MA. Jasinki was thrown in jail and charged with possession of oxycodone pills with intent to distribute.

Cops say Jasinski admitted to funding his illegal venture with his $500,000 winnings from the show. He'll remain in police custody until his next hearing on Thursday.

Adam faces up to 20 years in the slammer and a $1 million fine.

UPDATE: Big Brother was definitely watching when Jasinski got busted -- the person he was allegedly trying to sell the pills to was a government witness who was wearing a wire.

Cops say Jasinski pulled a pill-stuffed sock from his pants and handed them over -- and that's when they swooped in for the bust.



The arresting officer also claims Jasinski did not go quietly into custody, accusing the reality star of putting up a struggle before he got Adam into a fresh pair of cuffs.

Adam...Adam...Adam... tsk tsk tsk!! Ugh!! He always was diggin in his pants ...ICK!! Can't say that I'm surprised by this bust!

Big Brother winner Adam Jasinski charged with dealing drugs
Charged With Dealing Oxycodone

A reality television show star is in trouble with the law in Massachusetts, charged with flying to the Bay State to sell oxycodone pills.

Adam Jasinski, last year’s winner of the CBS show “Big Brother,” was charged today in U.S. District Court in Boston with possession of oxycodone pills with intent to distribute. He was ordered held in custody until another hearing Thursday.

FOX Undercover’s camera was at the North Reading police station early this morning capturing exclusive video of Jasinski being loaded into a police vehicle for his day in court. He was arrested there on Saturday night, just hours after flying into Logan Airport to allegedly sell oxycodone.

Authorities say in court papers that Jasinski had nearly 2,000 oxycodone pills on him when he flew from his home in Delray Beach, Florida to Logan Airport. A Massachusetts man arrested for allegedly dealing drugs earlier this month picked him up at the airport. The two then drove to a strip mall parking lot in North Reading to allegedly complete the deal, but DEA agents busted him there.

Authorities say Jasinski, whose nickname is “Baller,” flew into Massachusetts with drugs hiding in his pants. Jasinski allegedly confessed that he had been selling thousands of oxycodone pills all along the East Cost over the past several months, and had been funding his enterprise with the $500,000 price he won from the “Big Brother Season 9” show.

If convicted, Jasinski faces up to 20 years imprisonment and a $1 million fine

ughhh... is the one who was arrested earlier this month and that picked Baller up from the airport Matty....?!?!

Ugh.... all I have to say is What a frickin douchenozzle!!!

Update on ADAM...Adam was in court today and is being held here in MA on no bail.

‘Big Brother’ winner wants out of rehab

A drug- and booze-addled fallen star of the CBS reality show “Big Brother” wants to be bounced from a Westboro rehab center two months early so he can apply his sullied celebrity to charity work.

Though not slated to go on trial until July 19 for attempting to sell the potent painkiller oxycodone in North Reading last fall, Adam Jasinski, 31, will ask U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge Leo T. Sorokin tomorrow to release him from the Spectrum Residential Program to his parents’ New Jersey home.

Jasinski has been at Spectrum since December and was expected to remain through June, but he tells the court in a letter, “I have utilized and exhausted all the program has to offer Jasinksi believes his notoriety is “an opportunity for him to give back to the community,” according to a memorandum on his progress that federal pretrial services sent to Sorokin on Tuesday.

Authorities charge that Jasinski spent his $500,000 “Big Brother” grand prize from the hit show’s 2008 season to buy thousands of oxycodone pills.
Louis Sacchetti, 55, who runs a men’s Christian-based recovery program for addicts in New Jersey, has agreed to be Jasinski’s sponsor.

“If it wasn’t for second shots, I wouldn’t be talking to you. I’d be locked up,” Sacchetti told the Herald. “The people who helped me get sober were really, really honest with me. That’s what I’m going to offer to him. I just hope that he is really willing to knuckle down. It’s the hardest thing I ever did in my life, but it was also the most rewarding.”

While competing on “Big Brother” - a bitter contest among housemates thrown together to manipulate one another’s evictions on camera - Jasinski was fired as flak of the United Autism Foundation after he called the children it serves “retards.”

Big Brother 9’ winner to change plea in drug case By Associated Press
Tuesday, June 15, 2010 -



BOSTON— The winner of the CBS reality show "Big Brother 9," who pleaded not guilty last year in a drug case, is expected to change his plea.
Adam Jasinski, of Delray Beach, Fla., was arrested in October after allegedly showing a government witness two plastic bags filled with oxycodone.
Jasinski won $500,000 on "Big Brother 9" in 2008. In an affidavit filed after his arrest, a drug enforcement agent said Jasinski told him he used some of his winnings to buy oxycodone pills and resell them.

Jasinski pleaded not guilty to possession with intent to distribute oxycodone.
An electronic notice filed in federal court Monday said attorneys have informed the court Jasinski intends to change his plea. A change of plea hearing is scheduled for July 20.
His lawyer did not return immediately messages for comment Tuesday.

Sounds like he's going to plead guilty and blame it all on Matty

lol, its kind of hard to plead not guilty when you have 1000 tabs of oxycodone stuffed in your underwear or where ever he had it. Maybe he'll say Matty put them there. I wonder if they are in the same jail? Locked up together again in the big house...LOL!

Big Brother 9 winner Adam Jasinski plead guilty “to possession with attempt to distribute oxycodone” after being charged with “attempting to sell 2,000 pills of oxycodone, the main active ingredient in OxyContin and other painkillers,” and also plead guilty “for failing to file a tax return for the year he won the show’s $500,000 prize,” the AP reports. He originally pled not guilty but changed that today.
Adam faces 15 years in prison, one for the tax charge and 14 for the drug charge. He was indicted last November after being accused of using his Big Brother winnings to deal drugs when he was arrested almost a year ago. He has been in drug rehab.
He’ll be sentenced Jan. 11 but “was immediately handcuffed and taken into custody to begin serving his time,” the AP reports, noting that, in court, Adam “said he is being treated for bipolar disorder and drug addiction.”

'Big Brother' champ admits guilt in tax, drug case


By DENISE LAVOIE (AP) – 3 hours ago
BOSTON — The winner of the CBS reality show "Big Brother 9" pleaded guilty Monday to a drug charge and for failing to file a tax return for the year he won the show's $500,000 prize.
Adam Jasinski, of Delray Beach, Fla., was arrested outside Boston last October and charged with attempting to sell 2,000 pills of oxycodone, the main active ingredient in OxyContin and other painkillers.
He had originally pleaded not guilty to possession with attempt to distribute oxycodone but changed his plea to guilty during a hearing Monday in U.S. District Court in Boston. He also pleaded guilty to the tax charge, which was added Monday by prosecutors.
Sentencing is not scheduled until Jan. 11, but Jasinski was immediately handcuffed and taken into custody to begin serving his time.
Jasinski, 32, was arrested after showing a government witness two plastic bags filled with oxycodone, police said.
While reciting a summary of the evidence prosecutors would have presented if the case had gone to trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Linda Ricci said the cooperating witness purchased 2,000 oxycodone pills from Jasinski in February 2009. She said Jasinski agreed to fly to Boston in October 2009 to sell the witness another 2,000 pills.
After the witness picked Jasinski up at Boston's Logan International Airport on Oct. 17, 2009, they drove to North Reading, where Jasinski removed a white sock from his pants, Ricci said. The sock contained two plastic bags filled with blue pills later determined to be oxycodone.
After Jasinski won the $500,000 prize on "Big Brother 9" in April 2008, he failed to file an income tax return and failed to pay taxes owed on the money, Ricci said. The series features contestants who live under constant surveillance and vote once a week to evict each other.
Judge William Young said that under federal sentencing guidelines, Jasinski faces a maximum of 14 years on the drug charge. The tax charge is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of one year.
It was unclear what sentence prosecutors will recommend. A plea agreement was filed in court but was sealed from public view.
Jasinski's lawyer, Valerie Carter, said she planned to recommend a sentence of house arrest. Carter asked Young to allow Jasinski to remain free on bail, with strict conditions, until he is sentenced, but Young rejected that request.
During questioning from Young before he entered his guilty pleas, Jasinski said he is being treated for bipolar disorder and drug addiction.
"I'm actually seeing results," he said.
Carter said Jasinski spent four months in a drug rehabilitation center in Massachusetts, and since then has been in nonresidential treatment in New Jersey, near his parents. She said he has passed every drug test he's been given since his arrest.
In an affidavit filed in court shortly after his arrest, a Drug Enforcement Administration agent said Jasinski told him he had been using some of his winnings from "Big Brother 9" to buy thousands of oxycodone pills and resell them along the East Coast.
At the time, Carter disputed that, saying Jasinski didn't have any recollection of telling agents he used a portion of his winnings to buy oxycodone.

That is so messed up. He's obviously got MAJOR problems!!!!
