Katrina Darrell, the American Idol contestant who rose to prominence in 2009 when she auditioned in a bikini and clashed with judge Kara DioGuardi, has been arrested for DUI.
As first reported by TMZ, Darrell was pulled over
in Pomona at 12:16 am.m. PST today and allegedly told police she was on
her way to a local hospital because her mom - who was sitting shotgun -
had fallen down and injured herself.
The police let her go as a result... but she then ran a red light and crashed into another car!
The former Idol hopeful tried to
flee the scene, was pulled over again by cops who smelled alcohol on her
breath and proceeded to fail a field sobriety test by blowing somewhere
between .15 and .17, twice the legal limit in California.
Sources say Darrell was crying throughout
the ordeal and released around 6 a.m. from the police station. She may
also face charges for the aforementioned hit-and-run.
All this AND our readers believe DioGuardi looks better in a bikini! Ouch.
