The organizer of an upcoming concert billed as a holiday tribute to U.S. troops said Sunday that former “American Idol” finalist Jessica Sierra was disinvited from performing after her recent arrest. The 22-year-old is being held without bail at the Hillsborough County Jail in Tampa, Fla., on charges of disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest. She is to remain there at least until her next hearing, scheduled Dec. 20. “While we appreciate Ms. Sierra’s past efforts to support U.S. troops, including performing for them in Iraq on Independence Day, it is quite obvious that Ms. Sierra needs to devote a great deal of time to putting her life back together,” retired Air Force Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson said in a statement.
