Darius Miles, a former Alabama basketball player, faces two new felony charges after Tuscaloosa County Jail staff allegedly found suspected synthetic marijuana in his property. [^1]

The FDA is issuing an immediately-in-effect guidance titled 'Temporary Policies for Compounding Certain Starter Parenteral Nutrition Drug Products for Neonates' to help address the supply gap. [^2]

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced on 2026-09-04 that it is taking action to address a potential supply gap of neonatal starter parenteral nutrition (PN) products, which provide essential nutrients intravenously to premature and critically ill newborns. [^3]

According to a deposition, jail staff located suspected 'paper route' treated with synthetic marijuana in Miles' property on Wednesday, Sept. 2, and investigators tested it showing a positive result for 37 grams. [^4]

Court documents filed Thursday and Friday charged Miles with failure to affix a tax stamp and second-degree promoting prison contraband, with a bond set at $2,500 for each charge. [^5]

Miles is awaiting trial on a capital murder charge for the January 2023 shooting death of 23-year-old Jamea Jonae Harris near the Strip in Tuscaloosa. [^6]

The guidance sets temporary regulatory and enforcement priorities for certain state-licensed pharmacies, federal facilities, and outsourcing facilities that compound specified parenteral drugs under sections 503A and 503B of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. [^7]

The potential supply gap stems from the permanent shutdown of two outsourcing facilities that produced certain standardized neonatal starter parenteral nutrition products, which raised concerns from children's hospitals. [^8]
