‘American Idol’ — Tent Girl Amy Brumfield Has Boozy Criminal Past
“American Idol” wannabe Amy Brumfield … the 24-year-old singer who lives in a tent … has a LONG criminal record … revealing a serious battle with alcohol. According to police records obtained by TMZ, Brumfield has been arrested at least 6 times in the past 7 years … with 3 arrests involving booze. Brumfield — who blew the “Idol” judges away with her rendition of Superwoman by Alicia Keys — was arrested in Tennessee on August 22, 2010 after cops say she was so drunk, she peed on herself in the lobby of a Baskin Robbins. Just 9 days before that — on August 13 — she was arrested in front of the Ole Smoky Candy Kitchen … after cops say she was displayed “extreme intoxication” … and was “trying to find someone to take her home.”Brumfield was arrested twice in 2007 — once for unlawful detainer (staying at a property after her lease had ended). The other arrest was for underage consumption of alcohol — for which she pled guilty and was sentenced to probation. Brumfield was also arrested in 2005 for criminal trespass on private property — the details around that incident are unclear. But this story could have a happy ending, judging by her audition on “Idol” last night, Brumfield appears motivated to start a whole new life for herself. video platform video management video solutions video player
