"E.R." actor Sam Jones III is under arrest on charges of possessing with the intent to sell more than 10,000 tablets of oxycodone.Jones, who played a medical student on "E.R." and was the younger brother of "E.R." doc Greg Pratt (played by Mekhi Phifer) , was arrested at his Canoga Park home Wednesday morning by DEA agents who say Jones was a "co-conspirator" in a series of drug deals.
The defendants were caught in a drug sting in which a special federal agent posed as a supplier of oxycodone working undercover. In June, 2008, Jones and Cataloni met the agent at a Burbank coffee shop, negotiated a price and then purchased $75,000 worth of the oxycodone in the parking lot of a Glendale video store.
Jones is charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute oxycodone. He is due in federal court Wednesday afternoon on the charges.
If convicted, Jones faces up to 20 years in federal prison.
