Doug Kiker, 28, was arrested Thursday for domestic violence in Mobile, a spokesperson at the Mobile Sheriff's Office confirmed to Fox News.
Details of the incident are unclear and the Mobile Police Department, the arresting agency in the case, did not immediately return Fox News' request for more information Saturday. TMZ, which was first to report Kiker's arrest, said an adult woman was involved and called 911.
Kiker was a fan-favorite on Season 18 of the ABC competition series. During his time on television, the singing hopeful was reportedly described as a married father of two who worked full time as a trash collector.
