Ashlynn Carr Previously Arrested For Sugar in Gas Tank
Remember Ashlyn Carr? She was on last night’s American Idol episode for her audition in San Antonio, and had the weird facial tics and got invited back into the judges’ room for a second shot. They sure spent a lot of time on her. It turns out that she was arrested back in November 2006 for putting sugar in her ex-boyfriend’s gas tank.
Not the best way to win favor with the AI producers.
Of course, the spoilers that have been going around don’t list her as one of the top 24 contestants anyway, so it’s probably all a moot point. But I know you all like reading dirt like this about the contestants, so I’m happy to oblige and give you what you want.
From her college newspaper:
Two Sam Houston State University students learned a hard lesson about breaking up two weeks ago as an ex-girlfriend seeking revenge instead landed a stay in jail.
On Nov. 1, a student reported that his car had sustained engine damage on campus as a result of sugar that had been placed in the gas tank.
“The student found out that he had sugar in his tank after taking the car to a mechanic for car trouble,” UPD investigative officer Mark Saha said.
After discovering the source of the problem, the student contacted UPD and gave them several people he believed could have been responsible.
One of those suspects, Ashlyn Carr, 19, was called in by UPD and confessed to the crime. She was arrested on Criminal Mischief charges, a state jail felony and booked into the Walker County Jail. According to Saha, the offense was cited as a felony because of the large estimated damages value of $2500.
