Skiiboski from last night's "American Idol" is used to being in front of judges -- because the guy has been arrested as many times as DMX ... almost.
TMZ has obtained Antonio "Skiiboski" Wheeler's five mug shots from his arrests in Florida -- which according to Skiiboski's inmate history report from the Orange County Corrections Department, occurred between March of 2005 and December of 2009.
March 2005: Possession of cannabis with intent to distribute, possession of cocaine, escape, and two counts resisting an officer without violence.
November 2005: Ten counts of contempt of court, providing false ID to law enforcement officer, escape during transport, resisting officer without violence, possession of cocaine and battery by detainee in detention facility.
February 2007: Possession of controlled substance of less than 10 grams, providing false ID to law enforcement officer, resisting officer without violence, escape.
August 2008: Violation of probation, driving while license suspended, no registration.
December 2009: Contempt of court.

So.....why did you guys look up his past? Did you go searching the criminal records of everyone that made it through to Hollywood last night?
WTF? Can't American Idol afford the $50 to do a criminal background check on its contestants? Good grief...
Wow...thumbs down for this guy. Bring back General Larry Platt..."pants on the ground...pants are the ground...looking like a fool with your pants on the ground..Ha! Classic! Too funny!
Though his voice turned out to be decent, he was obviously out of control and had no respect for authority.
4. Why isn't this guy in jail?

I guess for the same reason your Mother is Not in Jail
You know I am white and I hate racist white people this is why the world hates us. Leave people alone
They won't do background checks until they are further along. Remember they are auditioning thousands of people a day. I would believe the contestants would need to sign something saying they allow video to be taken of themselves, and that they don't have a criminal record... this guy is toast. I bet they pull him before he gets to Hollywood. Thanks TMZ for saving us time from listening to this loser again.
I dont see whats the big deal, half of the industry has done that and some even worse. Give the dude a chance. People are so quick to judge before knowing anything. How about giving a young man a chance to prove himself in life. Everyone has made a mistake before. You all love Kobe, Letterman, Topac, 50cent, Bill Clinton, Nas, Robert Downey jr, Ray lewis, Hugh Grant.... I can keep going. So people get real and get over it. Post some good news for a change!
Now HERE is a role model for parents to let their children cheer for...way to pick 'em, AI...
Wow, I can't wait to pick up a phone and vote for this guy!
American Idol and any other talent like show should not allow anyone with a criminal record to audition. It is different if someone just had one thing they were arrested for because they just made a mistake and learned from it but this guy has several.
