Immigration to US with criminal history in UK

I am a US citizen engaged to a British citizen. He was charged with possession of paraphernalia in the US (on a visit in 2002) and has spent time (7 months in 2005) in jail in the UK for assault and resisting arrest.

Does he have a chance of moving to the US as a spouse?
