Drug charges

In 1995, Titus was charged with conspiracy 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. Craig Titus is of Greek descent and 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. They will be in jail at least until the end of March when the judge will hear the prosecution's charges.
