Former American Idol Contestant Arrested

Former American Idol contestant, Jessica Sierra, was arrested early yesterday morning on drug possession and felony battery charges in Tampa, Florida.

The Associated Press is reporting that she "allegedly hit a man over the head with a heavy glass at a café and was booked at the Hillsborough County Jail on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon."

In addition, she was "charged with possession of cocaine and introduction of contraband into a correctional facility after officers found a small amount of the drug while searching her," a police spokeswoman told the AP.

She was released yesterday afternoon on $11,500 bail.

Jessica was in the Top 10 on American Idol in 2005.
