So the next American Idol could have been a …criminal?!  Antonio Weller aka Sii Bo Ski, tried out for American Idol Atlanta and passed on to Hollywoods’ Idol tryouts, has a strong background in drug crime & other criminal acts in central Florida.  Apparently, Skii Bo Ski made his first camera appearance not on American Idol but on Florida’s Fox 25 for a mug shot in March of 2005.  Antonio was arrested for cocaine possession.  Since then he has been arrested for other criminal charges such as possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, resisting an officer and contempt of court.

Weller made it through the Atlanta competitions and is now on his way to Hollywoods competition.  He was last released on the first January from the Orange County Jail.  American Idol producers responded with no comment after questioned as to what they look into as far as criminal background checks on contestants.
