A former "American Idol" contestant and Point Pleasant Beach native was arrested in Virginia for allegedly trying to distribute heroin.
TMZ reports Antonella Barba was arrested Thursday and is currently in jail until her court appearance next week.
She appeared on the sixth season of the singing competition back in 2007.
Barba was eliminated right before the top 12.
