Actor Sam Jones, who played Clark Kent's best friend Pete in the earlier seasons of Smallville , was arrested on Wednesday. Cops say he was part of a conspiracy to deal more than 10,000 pills of oxycodone.
Jones was taken into custody by DEA agents who claim that he was a "co-conspirator" in a series of major drug deals in 2008. According to documents filed in federal court, the DEA claims Jones was the "Hollywood connection" in a plot to illegally purchase and distribute the drug.
Jones has been charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute. He's due in federal court in LA today. If convicted, Jones faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
