AceShowbiz - Actor Sam Jones III is facing up to 20 years behind bars after pleading guilty to conspiracy to supply drugs. The former "Smallville" star entered the plea in Los Angeles federal court on Thursday, December 16.

The count stems from his arrest at his Canoga Park, California home last year, when he was busted for his involvement in a drug ring, which saw the gang allegedly attempt to sell more than 10,000 oxycodone pills - a painkiller known as "hillbilly heroin". The 27 year old will be sentenced in June, reports Eonline.com.
