Michelle Rodriguez

Drunk driving-a hit and run in LA, I believe-then she was drunk driving again in Hawaii and driving while her liscense was suspended. She's also ordered to go through an alcohol rehabilitation program-again.

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.[1]

In November 2003, Rodriguez went to court to face eight misdemeanor charges based on two road incidents: On July 22, she left the scene of an accident after hitting another motorist. And on November 4, she sped through an intersection while under the influence of alcohol. She had a suspended license both times.[2] 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. She went to jail for 48 hours, performed community service at the morgues of two New York hospitals, completed a three-month alcohol program, and was placed on probation for three years.

In 2005, while filming Lost in Hawaii, Rodriguez was pulled over by Honolulu police multiple times; she was cited for driving 83 mph in a 55 mph zone on Oahu on Nov. 1 and was fined $357, 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 24.[3]

Rodriguez and her Lost costar, Cynthia Watros, who were driving in separate cars, were each pulled over and arrested on the morning of December 1, 2005 in Kailua, Hawaii. According to the arresting officers, the actresses were weaving in and out of traffic on Pali Highway, which connects Kailua and Honolulu. Rodriguez and Watros were arrested at 12:05 and 12:20 am, respectively, and both failed sobriety tests.

Because the December 1, 2005 incident in Kailua was a violation of her probation, Rodriguez was sentenced to 60 days in prison, a 30 day alcohol rehabilitation programme and another 30 days of community service, including work for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, by a judge in Los Angeles on May 1, 2006.

During a May 4, 2006 interview with Charles Gibson, Diane Sawyer, and Robin Roberts on ABC's Good Morning America, Rodriguez claimed that the ordeal forced her to grow up. ( :laugh: Right :whistle: )

Michelle Rodriguez is a free woman after serving just hours of her 60-day drunk-driving jail sentence. The Lost star checked herself into jail in Los Angeles last Thursday but was out by the weekend, according to entertainment news website TMZ.com. Insiders claim the actress spent just four hours and 27 minutes behind bars - a byproduct of overcrowding and budget problems. A spokesman for the Los Angeles city attorney's office insists Rodriguez was released as part of a book and release program, typical for non-violent offenders with sentences of less than 90 days. Rodriguez made the most of her freedom - the Girlfight star was spotted ringside at the Ultimate Fighting Championships in Los Angeles on Saturday. Before turning herself into officials on Thursday, Rodriguez insisted she was planning to move to France upon her release from prison. She said, "I'm moving to France... People don't bother you there. I do what I got to do and then I leave the country and never come back."

Being arrested for drunk driving probably is one hell of a bother. Especially when it leads to getting people killed. She's extremely lucky to be alive-and to not be going to prison for manslaughter. I wouldn't be saying shit about leaving the country because she got off pretty damned easy for the shit she pulled. And I'd say that about anyone, not just because she's not my favorite person.

Oh, btw, the pics of her with the straight hair are really good. It's one of the few photoshoots i've seen where I think she looks pretty.
