Report: Sierra offered cop sexual favor

TAMPA, Fla., Dec. 3 (UPI) -- Singer Jessica Sierra reportedly offered to perform oral sex on a police officer if he would let her go as she was being arrested in Florida last weekend.

The 22-year-old former "American Idol" contestant also repeatedly vomited in the police cruiser she rode in before she was placed in an isolation cell at Orient Road Jail, the Tampa Tribune reported Monday.

Sierra was denied bail Sunday and the judge told her she could face up to 11 years in prison if convicted of violating probation, the newspaper said.

The singer was sentenced to 12 months probation after she pleaded no contest two weeks ago to cocaine possession and felony battery for hitting a man with a glass at Hyde Park Cafe in April.

She was arrested again in Ybor City early Saturday after a brawl in the Full Moon Saloon and charged with disorderly intoxication, resisting arrest without violence and violating probation.

Sierra entered a California rehabilitation facility in July and her progress was documented on the new reality show, "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew," to air early next year.
