AMERICAN IDOL: Curtis Finch, Jr. CR: Michael Becker / FOX. Copyright: FOX.

According to The National Enquirer, American Idol finalist, Curtis Finch Jr., has a prior arrest record.

According to the National Enquirer, the singer reportedly stole a $1,500 Macbook laptop from a fellow choir student in St. Louis, Missouri, and attempted to re-sell the computer to another classmate. That person ended up turning him in, and Curtis Finch Jr. was arrested on December 9, 2010.

When the case went to court, the American Idol 2013 contestant reportedly copped a guilty plea to the crime, paying $1,800 plus the cost of appearing in court. This was his first and only arrest, according to our criminal background check.

Didn’t we know this already? This sounds vaguely familiar. Also, I’m sure Curtis informed Idol producers. Hell, they may have even leaked this cute little item. I don’t see this situation causing much of an uproar.

    Even if he informed the Idol people, I actually consider stealing someone’s laptop and trying to re-sell it a lot worse than what Jermaine Jones did (at least what we know he did!). Also, the fact that Curtis is supposedly very religious, yet stole the lap-top from a fellow choir member makes it even worse…..not to mention ironic.
