McDonald was arrested in Massachusetts for allegedly joining Adam Jasinski in an alleged drug ring, reports TMZ.

The two became allies on the ninth season of "Big Brother," which ran from February through April in 2008. Jasinksi was named the winner.

The popular CBS reality show centers on a group of people living together under constant surveillance and try to win the large cash prize by avoiding eviction each week.

Jasinksi had admitted to police that he used his $500,000 winnings to start the large drug ring. And now it seems that McDonald and Jasinksi teamed up again.

Although McDonald will be sentenced in April, he has been ordered to stay behind bars.

But this is not the first time the ex-reality star has seen the inside of a cell.

Last April, McDonald was arrested for beating up on his pregnant wife. Reports say the couple began arguing when he accused her of cheating on him. The girlfriend was found bruised, and that's when McDonald was sent to jail.

If convicted of the drug charge, McDonald could face up to 20 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
