The 20-year-old Livermore resident told police he was returning from a party his friends threw him in Pittsburg on Sunday, celebrating that he made the latest cut on the popular television show.
If you watched the Idol last night, you'll see that Donnie's face was not on the list of contestants for next week. He's already been replaced - but I can't remember group 4 well enough to know who is the new person.

The most shocking thing about this story is that he got his Taurus to hit 100 mph.
He was replaced with George Huff, the guy that was cut in the earlier round b/c the judges thought he looked too old. The reason this is weird is b/c the judges had already picked 4 alternates in case anything happened to the 32 finalists (after Frenchie and Cory last year, they learned their lesson) but George wasn't one of the four alternates.
