While documentary tape rolls: Drug-using actor stars in real-life court drama
By KAREN SUDOL
FREEHOLD -- A film star best known for portraying a drug-using character in a
series of movies by Red Bank director Kevin Smith will be featured in an
upcoming HBO documentary that shows him quitting heroin cold turkey.
And while HBO isn't revealing too many details about the documentary, included
in it will be Jason Mewes' appearance before Superior Court Judge Michael D.
Farren yesterday to plead guilty to violating his probation for a 1999 heroin
possession conviction. He turned himself in yesterday after a bench warrant was
issued in December 2001 for his arrest.
While the tape rolled, the judge ordered Mewes, 28, formerly of Keansburg and
Highlands, to report to the Discovery House drug rehabilitation center in
Marlboro within 10 days. He is not permitted to leave New Jersey until he
completes the program, which lasts between four and six months. His probation,
which was continued to Feb. 25, 2005, can then be transferred to Hollywood,
Calif., where he currently lives.
If he violates probation again, he faces up to five years in jail, according to
Assistant Monmouth County Prosecutor Susan Schroeder.
Mewes, dressed casually and wearing sneakers, declined to comment afterward.
Mewes, has starred in films by Smith. He played Jay, a marijuana-smoking drug
dealer, in the movie "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back." Mewes had debuted as the
character in the 1994 hit "Clerks" and appeared in "Chasing Amy" in 1997.
HBO executive producer Craig Veytia, who is also Mewes' personal manager, said
he convinced Mewes to do the documentary so people could have a better
understanding of his life and drug addiction. The documentary is a collaboration
of Craig Entertainment Group, which Veytia owns, and HBO, he said.
"He (Mewes) wants to help other people so they don't fall into the same trap as
he did," added Veytia.
Airtime this summer
Called "Rock Bottom," the documentary includes footage of Mewes using heroin,
even experiencing withdrawal symptoms while he quits cold turkey. It will show
him in court and likely during his rehabilitation, said Veytia.
The documentary, which begins in Rhode Island and will end in New Jersey, will
air this summer, he said. Production began March 20.
"This is building to what we hope is the reconstruction of himself so he gets
back on track," said Veytia, adding that he encouraged Mewes to turn himself in
yesterday.
Mewes pleaded guilty to six counts of violating his probation -- failing to
perform community service; failing to report to the probation department;
testing positive for drugs and failing to perform other drug tests; failing to
cooperate with counseling and treatment; leaving the state without permission;
and lying to the probation department.
In February 2000, Mewes had admitted possessing heroin in 1999 in Keansburg and
was placed on two years' probation. In December, 2001 Farren issued a bench
warrant for his arrest.

Shock tactics. Probably won't work, but worth a try.
Imagine: It'll Be All Right On The Night 48, Jason Mewes accidentally rupturing a vein whilst trying to shoot up.
I don't know about everyone else, but I can't wait to see someone experiencing the horror of quitting heroin on TV - that's a high-quality programme right there!
Christ.
Christ.
