One of the stars of "Smallville" was arrested this morning -- after cops say he was part of a conspiracy to deal more than 10,000 pills of oxycodone.
TMZ has learned Sam Jones, who played Clark Kent's best friend on the show, was taken into custody by DEA agents who claim Jones 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 oxycodone.
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.

A TMZ spy spotted "Smallville's" Tom Welling and his wife of five years, model Jamie White, at Samy's Camera in Los Angeles -- and the couple seemed to be confronting Kryptonite!
Welling and White were in the video department, and while our spy didn't see what sparked the argument, he did say that Jamie looked furious as she yelled at Tom and stomped off. Call the Daily Planet!
Tom followed, and just like that, Superman and the damsel that he stressed were gone.
We tried contacting Tom's reps, but were unable to reach them by deadline.

Tori Spelling is returning to television, and she isn't playing herself for a change. Instead, Tori will guest star in tomorrow night's episode of "Smallville."
The "90210" alum plays Linda Lake, a sneaky gossip columnist who writes a story that exposes Lana's reservations about marrying Lex. And, this being "Smallville," she has the ability to turn herself into water. Of course she does.
In this clip from the show, Tori's character flexes her inner bitch by treating fellow reporter Chloe like an intern.
"Smallville" airs Thursday night at 8PM on The CW.
