Remember season four finalist Jessica Sierra? Well, perhaps if you don’t remember her vocal talents, maybe you’ll remember her mug shot.

Turns out this Tampa, Fla., native, 21, was charged early Sunday with felony battery. Police charged the singer with battery with a deadly weapon. And guess what, America - it wasn’t a microphone!

According to a police spokeswoman, the tough chick – who, while finishing in the top ten, earned her season’s “Who was that? Award” in our eyes shortly after the show wrapped – allegedly hit a man on the head with a glass while at a Tampa café.

Sierra, who was taken into custody at 2:15 a.m. on Sunday, was found to be in possession of cocaine when searched at the Hillsborough County Jail. She was later released on $11,500 bail. No further details have been released.

Appearing in Idol’s top 10 with bold-facers Constantine Maroulis and Carrie Underwood, Sierra’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart” single was included on the season’s compilation album, “American Idol Season 4 – The Showstoppers.”
