Lost’s Michelle Rodriguez Goes to Jail

Tuesday Apr 25, 2006 6:30pm EST

Lost actress Michelle Rodriguez pleaded guilty to DUI charges in Hawaii Tuesday.

The judge at Kaneohe District Court in Oahu offered Rodriguez, 27, a choice between 240 hours of community service or five days in jail.

Rodriguez chose the jail time. She will also pay a $500 fine.

Her sentence - minus one day for the night she spent in jail following the Dec. 1 arrest - began Tuesday, although Rodriguez was first allowed to go home to gather some necessities. After her sentencing, Rodriguez, dressed in a brown leather jacket and ankle-length white ruffles skirt apologized for her attitude toward police officers the night of her arres (she allegedly told an officer, "I don’t (expletive) belong here! Why don’t you just put a gun to my head and shoot me!").

She said that her behaviour was influenced by steroids she’s been taking for allergies since she arrived in Hawaii. She also said she’d learned to drive inly for a "racing movie" - presumably 2001’s The Fast and the Furious. Rodriguez and her Lost costar Cynthia Watros were arrested in Oahu early on the morning of Dec. 1 2005, on suspicion of driving under the influence of alchohol.

Rodriguez, who plays Ana Lucia, and Watros, 37, who plays Libby, were taken into custody on the Hawaiian island, where the ABC drama is filmed. They had been driving separate cars. Rodriguez still faces up to 18 months in Los Angeles County Jail for violating the terms of a 36-month probation stemming from a DUI in Nov. 2003 and a hit and run the previous July.

Remember her? Well, you’d be hitting the jackpot if you are thinking of the s**tface lady in the series Lost. As predicted, a face like that is not easy to put on just for an acting role. It is plainly who she is in real life - a s**tface with an attitude that stinks. To think for a moment I was wondering how the makeup artistes did hell of a job to bring that exact same face from her character in the movie The Fast and the Furious to the tv series Lost. Finally, the truth is out! Her ’s**tface is au naturel - wrinkles and all! Hopefully her mean looks will be of use to her when she faces the real mean mamas behind them iron bars!
