PORTLAND — Two-time “American Idol” contestant Jessica Cunningham is scheduled to go before a real judge this month after being arrested Sunday night on charges of domestic violence following the Old Port Festival.
Cunningham, 25, whose married name is Candage, was spotted in front of 468 Fore St., the Portland Harbor Hotel, by a Portland police officer who said it appeared she was holding her husband back from walking toward the officer.
When Officer Chris Hawley approached the couple at 7:45 p.m., he reported seeing Candage punch her husband, Craig Candage Jr., in the face with her fist several times. The report said Candage had small cuts on his face from the alleged assault.
Jessica was taken to Cumberland County Jail and released on unsecured bail of $1, 000, meaning if she does not show up for her court date June 30, she will have to forfeit the money.
Apparently, she was trying to stop her husband from driving after eating a meal out. Her husband supports the story saying that if anything, he should have been the one in trouble.
Jessica made it to the top 50 on AI9 and Hollywood on AI8. In all she tried out for Idol 7 times. She made it to the Top 40 Season 10–getting cut right before the Top 24.
Getting cut right before the S10 Top 24 – She doesn’t take it well.
