Looks like half a million dollars just wasn’t enough cash for Adam Jasinski. The 2008 Big Brother winner is in police custody after attempting to sell 2,000 oxycodone pills to a government witness. Think he missed being trapped in a building?

Authorities say Jasinski flew from his Florida home to Boston Saturday to meet their stool pigeon, whipping a sock full of drugs from the crotch of his pants as they left. The pair then drove to a strip mall in North Reading, where Jasinski was arrested after struggling with officers and throwing his oxy-sock under a parked car.

DEA officials believe the suspect used the $500,000 he won from Big Brother Season 9 as seed money for his operation, which has taken him all over the East Coast over the last few months. If found guilty, Jasinski faces up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine. Note to future reality show winners: if you want to make money outside of a strip mall, you’re better off scheduling a public appearance.
