TAMPA -- A former 'American Idol' finalist was arrested Sunday on felony battery charges after she allegedly hit a man on the head with a heavy glass, police said.

Jessica Sierra, 21, a top-10 contestant on the hit show in 2005, was booked in the Hillsborough County Jail on a charge of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon.

She was also charged with possession of cocaine and introduction of contraband into a correctional facility after booking officers found a "small amount of cocaine'' while searching her, Tampa police spokeswoman Andrea Davis said in a statement.

Davis said the incident happened at a Tampa cafe about 1:52 a.m. Sunday. The victim suffered a cut over his eye, but the spokeswoman offered no further information.

Sierra, of Tampa, was being held Sunday on bonds totaling $11,500.

Jessica.

I didn't like her much while she was on Idol, but I grew to like her a lot. Probably my 6th favorite from season 4's top 12. That sucks.

Your hand can be a deadly weapon. The fact is that she used something to cause injury to another person.
