According to MTV News, the singer - who finished tenth on the seventh season of the Fox show - was taken into custody on Thursday in Los Angeles.
A sergeant from the Beverly Hills Police Department has been quoted as saying that Eze tried to use "fraudulent means" to complete a purchase at the Neiman Marcus store.
He reportedly declined to give any further information because it is an ongoing investigation.
It has been reported that 24-year-old Eze was released on $50,000 (£32,800) bail early this morning.
He is alleged to have told TMZ that he tried to buy cologne with a never-before-used Neiman credit card when the cashier called security. He apparently claimed that he was informed there was something untrue on his card application form, but is unsure what it could have been.
A spokesperson for Eze has yet to comment.
