Drug charges

In April of 1995 in Louisiana, Titus pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute Methylenedioxymethamphetamine or "Ecstasy." He was sentenced to 16 months of "house arrest" via monitoring with an electronic anklet. In July of 1997, Titus was sentenced to 21 months in jail for violating his probation by using anabolic steroids.

Murder charges

In December 2005, Titus and his wife Kelly Ryan entered the news for being accused of the murder of Melissa James, their personal assistant, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The couple were arrested in Stoughton, Massachusetts after fleeing cross-country and are being held in jail in Las Vegas. According to the FBI, there was intelligence that they might have been trying to get to Greece. As Titus is of Greek descent, he had expressed an interest in going somewhere where they wouldn't extradite him. In February 2006, after being extradited to Nevada from Boston, Titus and Ryan were denied bail at their hearing. On March 29 both pleaded not guilty to the felony charge of killing their live-in assistant. The charge carries the possibility of the death penalty, although prosecutors said they have not decided whether to seek it.
