The former American Idol star from the Jersey Shore is making headlines once again. Antonella Barba of Point Pleasant Beach, NJ is now facing federal charges for dealing heroin.
Barba, 31, was arrested in October 2018 in Norfolk, Virginia, for heroin possession.
Although she denies knowing it was there, authorities discovered heroin in her rental car. Barba was charged with one count of possession of more than 100 grams of heroin with intent to distribute.
Since Oct. 27, Barba has been out on a $50,000 secured bond on charges from the state.
Now, the Office of the Norfolk Commonwealth’s Attorney dropped state drug dealing charges against her and Barba faces federal charges instead.
If convicted, she faces a minimum of five years, and up to 40 years, in prison, with a $500,000 fine.
Barba’s attorney anticipates a detention hearing will be scheduled for Friday, Feb. 15.
Wonder if she caught that damned heroin disease that’s going around

I bet she just dealt it because it was making her money, and she lied about all the money she made from modeling, singing, etc, and instead dealt drugs
She had a successful singing career…not !
What a shame. This is very sad.
Eventually this State will set up help for anyone struggling with addiction.
Classy!!
Scumbag
Pos to be dealing knowing it can kill… lock her up!!
Her family must be very proud!
Michael A Hildebrandt I’m sure she is not happy where she is nobody wants to be addicted to drugs
Transitioning to the rap game?
