Big Brother 9 winner Adam Jasinski was denied a motion to be released from jail, reports E! News. Jasinski was arrested two weeks ago in Boston, MA on drug-peddling charges, and has been locked up ever since.

Court clerk Maria Simeone said Judge Leo T. Sorokin “determined that the government had met its burden of proof based on the evidence and that the defendant posed a risk of flight.”

If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison and $1 million in fines – double his winnings from the reality show.

Jamie Waylett, who plays Vincent Crabbe in the Harry Potter films, pleaded guilty to growing ten cannabis plants in his mother’s London home, reports the BBC. The 20-year-old actor was ordered to do 120 hours of community service.

He was arrested after police found pictures of the plants on his camera, which they seized after he took a picture of the officers – which is prohibited under the Terrorism Act – as his friend, John Innis, 20, drove past them.

“I extend my sincere apologies to all producers, cast and crew and all at Warners and most especially to all Harry Potter fans,” said Waylett.

He received a police reprimand and two warnings between 2001 and 2005. No further details were given about these incidents.
