Sales of Jordin Sparks’ debut album have been a disappointment so far. But things could be worse.

The 17-year old could be facing the problems of another former American Idol finalist, Jessica Sierra.

The singer was jailed early Saturday after a drunken confrontation with police and onlookers. This arrest comes less than two weeks after she pleaded no contest to charges of battery and possession of cocaine.

Sierra, who is making O.J. Simpson seem like a law-abiding citizen, was charged with disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest and violating conditions of her parole on earlier felony battery and possession charges. She’s being held without bond.

Remember when Jessica Sierra was an innocent American Idol finalist? Since then, she’s taken a lot of drugs and hit many people.

“As the defendant was taken into custody, she attempted to push away and flee the scene,” arresting officers wrote on their report.

Back on November 19, Circuit Judge Gregory Holder sentenced Sierra to 12 months probation and random drug screening, stemming from an altercation in April where she was accused of hitting a man on the head with a glass.

Officers proceeded to find a small amount of cocaine while searching her afterward at the county jail, helping Sierra out-criminalize Mary Delgado in a comparison of recent reality TV arrests.
