UPDATE, FEB. 24, 8:04 A.M.: Oil heir Jason Davis, who was busted for alleged heroin use and pipe possession in Newport Beach last month, could get up to three years behind bars if convicted of the charges prosecutors have filed against him.
The grandson of billionaire Marvin Davis faces three felony counts of possession of a controlled substance, misdemeanor use of a controlled substance and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia, according to the Orange County district attorney's office (OCDA).

He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday at the Harbor Justice Center in Newport Beach. Under Proposition 36, Davis could also be sentenced to a drug-diversion program in lieu of jail time, according to the OCDA.
Known as “Gummi Bear” because of his not-so-svelte physique, the socialite actor was previously arrested for possessing heroin and DUI in early March 2008. That July, he pleaded guilty to the possession rap and no contest to the DUI, earning a 36-month drug-program sentence.
His brother, Alexander Davis, and actor Tom Arnold tore up Jason's LA apartment with a baseball bat and staged an
intervention in December 2009 to get him into rehab.
On a Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew reunion special that aired on VH-1 two days before his Jan. 27 Zooport arrest, Davis professed to being clean.
ORIGINAL POST, JAN. 28, 7:32 P.M.: A day Two days after the airing of a Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew reunion special on VH-1 that featured Jason Davis professing to be clean, the grandson of billionaire Marvin Davis and brother of Brandon “Greasy Bear” Davis was
apparently arrested Thursday night in Newport Beach for possession of a controlled substance.
TMZ has the scoop.
Davis was reportedly held in lieu of $20,000 bail.
“Jason was honest about struggles with his sobriety on the reunion show,” a disappointed Dr. Drew Pinsky tells TMZ. “Hopefully,
now that there are legal consequences, further treatment will be
mandated, which he desperately needs. We care for him deeply and are
here for him.”

Jason’s first cousin – Nick Raynes died tragically of a Heroin overdose that was laced with Fentanyl, on Friday July 27th, 2018.
I was there at the scene and saw my beloved sweetheart in Rigor Mortis at just 33 years of age. The shock and horror of it will NEVER LEAVE ME!!!???
I brought up his first cousin Jason Davis, and his struggles with Heroin, after Nick’s April 3rd Overdose last year, when I could not bring him back by myself, and I had to call 911 and specifically ask that they bring Naloxone/ Narcan. The anniversary of this overdose is just 3 days from now. When I googled his first cousin Jason David and showed Nick articles about him, his reply was “Ange, I really don’t want to talk about it.” A cop out line I should never have let him get away with, and one he had used before.
I have full blown PTSD from the four overdoses I saved Nick Raynes from. I would give anything to bring him back to life – he meant the world to me, drug addicted as he was. I want to remove the stigma and shame associated with Opioid Overdose death ?, so we can find a solution to stop our loved ones from dying. To keep our loved ones breathing. And not shove tragedies like that of Jason Davis’ first cousin Nick Raynes under the rug, as if it never happened.
It’s the second anniversary of Nick Raynes’s death and everyday it hurts to know that he is no longer here. And just an hour ago today I found out that his first cousin Jason Davis died of exactly the same thing – Fentanyl stopped both of them breathing. Nick and Jason were born just two months apart – NICHOLAS JULES RAYNES was born on August 19th, 1984 and Jason was born on October 14th, 1984. And the resemblance between them is startling, even to me. I will never stop being sad about this senseless and needless way of losing ones life. Everyday I rack my brain with questions as to how and why some people are drawn to opioids and downers, and others are not. What molecules in the brains of many people crave morphine or Oxycodones or Heroin or Fentanyl and others not? What can we come up with to substitute that high, that will not make you stop breathing and die? I desperately want to know…

If this had been this year basically anyone of age can buy Narcan over the counter. Sorry for your loss as I also lost someone I cared about to a fentanyl overdose.
