Cops: 'American Idol' reject arrested

NEW YORK - An " American Idol" reject who volunteered for a Brooklyn school is accused of sending inappropriate text messages to a 12-year-old boy.

Authorities say Colin Leahy was arrested on charges of endangering the welfare of a child after he made sexual references in messages sent to the P.S. 236 student.

Leahy could not be immediately reached for comment. His home phone number is unlisted.

The 23-year-old unsuccessfully tried out for the third season of the hit prime-time television show.
