Jones has been charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute. He's due in federal court in L.A. later today.

If convicted, Jones faces up to 20 years in federal prison.

3. It's a very complicated situation. If it is true, this guy is screwed. But, it's hard to believe that someone who is trying to get a real career in entertainment industry is dumb enough to risk everthing to work as drug dealer. Oh, my goodness!!!!!!!

10. I am sure the brother is innocent. Just a plan by Lex Luger to get to Superman call it 'Legal Kryptonite'. Back in 2008 he asked for a raise and was denied, now who is feeling guilty.

hey "Brother" ask for Kitchen duty.

13. SPEAKING OF ADDICTIONS.....On KMOV St. Louis Broadcast "Illinois States Attorney Robert Haida releases Women convicted of 7 DWI's". THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY IN THIS MATTER WILL LEAD TO A DWI TRAGEDY". Contact the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission and demand the disbarment of St. Clair County Illinois States Attorney Robert Haida for releasing DWI 7-time Convict without House Arrest or any Punishment.
