American Idol Finalist Curtis C.J. Harris Arrested in Drug Bust

Curtis “C.J.” Harris was arrested on Thursday, October 6, during a drug bust in Alabama, the Walker County Sheriff Department confirms to Us Weekly.

The season 13 American Idol finalist, 25, was arrested for allegedly selling oxycodone and marijuana to a confidential informant.

Harris, who was arrested along with 11 other people, was booked on three counts of felony distribution of a controlled substance.

He’s being held on $90,000 bail.

According to the Walker County Sheriff Office’s Facebook page, the Narcotics and SWAT divisions “conducted a drug distribution and warrant roundup,” and executed 18 warrants, 14 of which were drug-related.

Harris finished sixth during his season of American Idol in 2014, which Caleb Johnson won. Watch his audition in the video above.
