'Idol' Vet Sierra Busted
Season Four singer faces battery and drug possession charges
Sierra was busted early Sunday (April 30) morning in Florida. The 21-year-old Tampa resident was booked on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after allegedly throwing a cocktail glass at a male cafe customer.
According to a wide variety of media reports, Sierra and the male engaged in a heated exchange before the glass was thrown. The customer suffered a laceration over one eye.
At the scene, Sierra was described as "belligerent" with the arresting officer.
In addition to the battery charge, Sierra picked up a drug possession charge after officers allegedly found a small amount of cocaine on Sierra's person.
Sierra was released on $11,500 bond on Sunday afternoon.
In 2005's installment of FOX's wildly popular singing talent show, Sierra advanced through the semi-finals and made it into the Top 12. After surviving two weeks of popular voting, Sierra was eliminated after singing LeAnn Rimes' "On the Side of Angels" for a Music of the 1990s theme week.
Sierra had a less-than-welcome return to the spotlight in 2006 when a man was arrested and accused of stalking the singer and leaving more than 40 adoring voicemails for her.
