NBC News did such digging and discovered that Jesse has a bit of a criminal past. He's been charged with misdemeanors such as criminal trespassing and criminal injustice, he's violated probation and gone to jail and a drug treatment center, and he's wanted in Oregon. What a resume.

But maybe now that Miley and Jesse are basically BFFs, she'll be a good influence on him and help him turn his life around? Well, maybe minus the pot thing. Let's hope Jesse isn't around when Miley decides to light one up.
