nelms Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,193122,00.html 'Lost' Star Michelle Rodriguez Chooses Jail Over Community Service for DUITuesday , April 25, 2006 HONOLULU — "Lost" actress Michelle Rodriguez pleaded guilty on Tuesday to a single count of driving under the influence, choosing to pay a $500 fine and spend five days in jail rather than do 240 hours of community service. Rodriguez, who portrays police officer Ana Lucia, and cast member Cynthia Watros were both charged with drunken driving after they were pulled over Dec. 1 in separate cars within 15 minutes of each other. On Tuesday, a judge gave Rodriguez the option of jail time or community service. She was to surrender to authorities at Kaneohe District Court later in the day. Watros, who plays Libby on the ABC castaway drama, pleaded guilty to drunken driving in January and was fined $312, ordered to undergo an alcohol assessment and 14 hours of counseling. She also had her license suspended for 90 days. Both Rodriguez and Watros were spotted weaving on a road in Kailua, on the island of Oahu, where "Lost" is filmed. Both failed field sobriety tests. Rodriguez recorded a blood-alcohol level of 0.17, more than twice the legal limit of .08. Watros had a blood-alcohol level of 0.10. In 2004, Rodriguez pleaded no contest in Los Angeles to three traffic violations, including drunken driving. She completed a three-month alcohol program and is serving a three-year probation term.

oriolesfan93p Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 Sounds more like she just wanted to get it over with faster... that 240 hours thing would take months to take care of, she has the money to pay the $500 fine and take the 5 days in jail then I guess that was the right decision, maybe she will learn about not drinking and driving after having to spend a little time in the slammer....
