Jessica Sierra back in jail

Less than two weeks after she pleaded no contest to charges of battery of possession of cocaine, Season 5 finalist Jessica Sierra was arrested this weekend in Florida on charges of disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest and violating conditions of her parole. The 22-year-old was being held without bond.

The former American Idol top 10 finalist had entered a rehab facility in July that was supposed to be documented in an upcoming VH1 reality show, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Her arrest at 2:10 a.m. Saturday at a bar in Ybor City may change plans.

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

Sierra’s previous trouble with the law was resolved Nov. 19 when she was sentenced to 12 months probation and random drug screening. The singer was accused of hitting a man in the head with a glass at a bar in April. At that time, officers also found cocaine in her possession.

Sierra was eliminated from Idol’s fifth season on March 30, 2005 after performing her rendition of the LeAnn Rimes song On the Side of Angels. The finalist also made headlines after it was uncovered she and fellow contestant Nikko Smith had a short relationship. She also was the target of a 59-year-old California man who left more than 40 voicemail messages telling Sierra he loved her and was willing to go to jail for her.

This summer, she appeared as a guest at the second-annual Reality TV Convention in Nashville, Tenn., where she had been working on new music late last year.

There’s no update on Sierra’s appearance on the Dr. Drew show, which also will feature Daniel Baldwin, Jeff Conaway, Andy Dick and Brigitte Nielsen, according to imdb.com.
