Michelle Rodriguez goes to jail...

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 her 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 ruffled skirt, apologized for her attitude toward police officers the night of her arrest (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 behavior was influenced by steroids she's been taking for allergies since she arrived in Hawaii. She also said she'd learned to drive only 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 alcohol. 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.

Watros pleaded guilty on Jan. 12. As part of a plea agreement with prosecutors, she had her driver's license suspended for 90 days, agreed to attend 14 hours of alcohol-abuse rehabilitation classes, and pay a total of $307 in fines and court costs.

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.

"14 hours of alcohol-abuse rehabilitation classes"

this was a first offence for Watros and thats why she got off lightly.
I agree about the 14hrs alcohol-abuse rehabilitation classes.Seems to be a waste of time.

Here is a more comprehensive list of her offences:

* In March 2002, Rodriguez was arrested and charged for assaulting her female roommate. The charges were later dropped after the roommate declined to press the allegations in court

* On July 22 2003, she left the scene of an accident after hitting another motorist.

* November 4 2003, she sped through an intersection while under the influence of alcohol. She had a suspended license both times.

* In June 2004, Rodriguez pleaded no contest in Los Angeles to three of the charges: hit and run, drunken driving, and driving with a suspended license.

* In Nov. 1 2005, Rodriguez was pulled over by Honolulu police multiple times; she was cited for driving 83 mph in a 55 mph zone on Oahu

* Paid a $300 fine for driving 90 mph in a 35 mph zone on Oct. 20, was fined $197 for going 80 mph in a 50 mph zone on August 24th.

MUGSHOT:

Haven't a Clue

I think they look good.

There is a really obvious joke there along the lines of "Rodriguez leaves lost and op's for jail break instead" rarrar rah etc...

They could work this into the show. In the Season 2 finale, the Losties find a hovercraft and they all pile into it and set sail for home (leaving Hurley behind obviously). BUT Anna-Lucia is at the controls, p1ssed out of her skull, and she plows the craft into a tree and wrecks it.

Never knew she was such a nutter. Am I the only one who finds her MUCH sexier now?

I am?

Oh well.

You're all missing out. Crazy chicks RULE!

Faith

Yes.

Libby looks either like she's stoned or crying. and you're not really supposed to smile in mugshots.

So Rodriguez isn't just a typecast, she's actually an asshole in real life.

I believe she's called 'trailer-trash' in USA...

She must've given JJ Abrams some of her stash to let her on to the show. Worst actress ever.
