Superman’s best friend is in hot water for allegedly dealing drugs.
Sam Jones 3rd, who played Clark Kent’s buddy on the CW show “Smallville,” was arrested Wednesday morning in a federal drug sting, TMZ.com reported.
The Drug Enforcement Agency said Jones, 26, was accused of being a “co-conspirator” in several major drug deals last year.
According to court documents, the actor and several others devised a plan to purchase and distribute more than 10,000 oxycodone pills.
Jones was reportedly taken into custody by DEA agents who described him as the “Hollywood connection” to the plot.
The 26-year-old actor has been charged with conspiracy to possess illegal drugs with the intent to distribute. If convicted, Jones faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
