"A former \"&lt;strong&gt;Big Brother Season 9&lt;/strong&gt;\" contestant has just been arrested for conspiracy to distribute oxycodone -- and authorities believe he was in cahoots with another \"BB9\" housemate ... the guy who won the show. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a class=\"choice-link\" href=\"https://cms.tmz.com/news/edit/news/2010/\" title=\"Choose\"&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2010/04/27/0427-big-bros-mugs-ex2-credit-1.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Matthew McDonald&lt;/strong&gt; (left) was indicted in federal court in Massachusetts today for allegedly participating in a drug ring run by \"Big Brother\" Season 9 winner&lt;strong&gt; Adam Jasinski &lt;/strong&gt;(right).&amp;#160; According to the indictment, McDonald was involved in the alleged drug ring from April 2008 to October 2009. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McDonald and Jasinski were allies inside the \"Big Brother\" house during most of Season 9 -- which ran from February 2008 through April 2008. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we previously reported, Jasinski was arrested in October 2009 after cops say he used his $500,000 Big Brother winnings to fund a large oxycodone distribution ring. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for McDonald -- it's the third major criminal charge levied against him this month. Matthew is accused of beating his pregnant girlfriend and then attempting to intimidate her into dropping the charges. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If convicted of the drug charge, McDonald faces up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
