"Big Brother 9" Winner Seeks Bail
The winner of the CBS reality TV show "Big Brother 9" accused of trying to sell a powerful prescription painkiller is again asking to be released on bail until his trial.
Adam Jasinski of Delray Beach, Fla., was charged last month with attempting to sell 2,000 oxycodone pills. They can produce a heroin-like high if crushed and then swallowed, snorted or injected.

He's been held without bail after a federal agent testified Jasinski told him he had been selling thousands of the pills every month in Florida, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
At a hearing Friday in federal court, Jasinski's lawyers are asking the court to release him to his parents' custody. They say in court papers that he'd agree to electronic or GPS monitoring, and to get mental health and substance abuse counseling.
