American Idol Finalist Jessica Sierra Jailed Again

By Just Stupid on Dec 4, 2007 in Miscellaneous

Former "American Idol" finalist Jessica Sierra was jailed in Tampa Fl early Saturday after a drunken confrontation with police and onlookers, authorities said.

The arrest comes less than two weeks after she pleaded no contest to charges of battery and possession of cocaine.

Sierra, 22, was charged Saturday with disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest and violating conditions of her parole on earlier felony battery and possession charges. She was being held without bond.

Sierra, who was supposed to be completing a drug-rehabilitation program to be televised nationally, was arrested at a bar in Ybor City at 2:10 a.m. Saturday.

A top-10 contestant on the American Idol show in 2005, Sierra entered a California rehab facility in July that was to be documented on VH1’s reality show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew," sometime early next year.
