Do you remember 'American Idol' star Antonella Barba from the 2007 season? She made it to the top 16 contestants, however, eventually lost and Jordan Sparks took the crown.
Now, Barba is making news headlines for something other than her singing career. The star has been arrested in Norfolk, Virginia for heroin distribution, according to reports from The Blast.
The sheriff's department revealed to the publication that Barba was caught Thursday with 100 grams of heroin. She will be charged with a felony and is currently being held without bail.
This is not Barba's first run-in with the law. In 2010, the singer was caught and arrested for shoplifting from Urban Outfitters. She also made headlines during her time on 'American Idol' for a series of racy pictures that were leaked to the press. Barba was widely criticized for posing in a wet white T-shirt in the National World War II Memorial Fountain.
