Calvin Klein's former toy boy was busted for drugs and weapons possession earlier this month, it has been revealed, marking the third time he's been arrested in the past year.
DEA agents raided a hotel room at the Hilton Garden Inn in Midtown Manhattan at around 2am on April 5 and found Nicholas Gruber, 29, and three friends throwing a party complete with several bags of meth.
It comes less than a month after the porn star was charged with assaulting a man with a frying pan.
A criminal complaint obtained by the New York Post states that the agents seized a backpack containing a 9mm firearm and several Fed-Ex paper shipping bags filled with at least two ounces of methamphetamine.
Gruber appeared in court on Wednesday to face unrelated charges stemming from the brutal assault last September.

Wednesday's hearing in Manhattan Criminal Court also concerned another incident on March 5 at the same building on the Upper East Side.
Gruber allegedly broke into an apartment and stole a clothing deliver along with a bag of methamphetamine.
He was charged with possession of a controlled substance and stolen property in that case, which could amount to a year in jail.
Both cases were adjourned to later dates at the most recent hearing.
When appearing before the judge, the 29-year-old wore a wrinkled gray button-down, black pants and a pair of rectangular glasses.
Gruber dated Klein, 76, for two years in the fashion mogul's first public gay romance, which ended in 2012.
Four months post-breakup, the former gay porn star and model was arrested after cops accused him of hiding cocaine in his underwear when they responded to a call that he assaulted a friend at the West Village penthouse apartment where he lived at the time.
