(TMZ) TMZ has learned 'American Idol' contestant Halicia Thompson has twice been convicted of crimes, one involving a police officer.

Thompson was arrested and convicted of criminal trespass in 1998, and she tells TMZ it was "racial."

The incident occurred on Easter Sunday at the Golden Corral Restaurant in Eden, North Carolina. Thompson tells TMZ a waitress she knew seated her. Thompson says another waitress came up to her and said the table was reserved for someone else and that she had to vacate. Thompson says her waitress friend seated her at another table, but five minutes later the manager came up and accused her of copping "an attitude" with the other waitress and asked her to leave. Thompson refused, and the police were called.[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
