What about Snorkling Under the Influence's. Talk yourself out of that, buddy!

"O-halo Mafficer! *hiccup*"

California has a much larger population. What's the percentages?

Same here. She was amazing on Titus. She's only had about 5 lines of dialog on Lost.

That mugshot of hers is, just, wow. No words can describe it.

Wow, this just gets worse and worse. I haven't found an online link to this yet, but tonight on KITV 4 News, they obtained copies of the Police Reports for the Rodriguez/Watros arrests. Accord to the police report:

"...[Rodriguez] wanted me to shoot her. She kept complaining that we could not take away her freedom. She told me 'just take away my car and I'll walk all the way to the North Shore but don't leave me in the back of this car 'poppie'.'"

Also:

"I don't fucking belong here! Why don't you just put a gun to my head and shoot me! You've already taken my freedom! You might as well take my life too!"

Police allowed Rodriguez to use her cell phone to make phone calls for bail, and they say as she did that, she continually hit herself on the head and punched the wall at the receiving desk.

Rodriguez also didn't like being kept in leg irons. Police quote her as saying, "I was only drinking baby. I can understand taking away my car for drinking and driving, but I didn't hurt nobody, so why do I have to wear these things? I feel like a slave man, this takes away my freedom..."

Rodriguez's blood/alcohol level was reported at .145, nearly twice the legal limit of .08. Watros' blood/alcohol level was .108. Rodriguez's lawyer declined comment today.

In response to MR's comments: All I can say is wow. That's really too bad as she's a decent actress with a great body and look. Oh well...............NEXT HOLLYWOOD STARLET PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! It's not like there aren't 2 million wannabe actresses just waiting to take her spot.

'Lost' stars arraigned on DUI charges


Friday, December 30, 2005; Posted: 8:33 a.m. EST (13:33 GMT)


HONOLULU, Hawaii (AP) -- "Lost" stars Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros were arraigned on charges of drunken driving Thursday, nearly a month after both actresses were arrested in separate cars.

Watros, 37, who plays Libby on ABC's hit castaway drama, planned to return to court January 12 to plead guilty, according to her attorney, Lanson Kupau.

"She made a mistake. She's very remorseful and she wants to take responsibility for her actions," Kupau said in an interview. "She realizes, understands and appreciates the seriousness of the charges."

Neither actress attended the court hearing.

A March 30 trial was set for Rodriguez, who plays police officer Ana Lucia on "Lost," which is filmed in Hawaii. Her attorney, Steve Barta, declined to comment.

The actresses were driving separate cars when they were arrested December 1 within 15 minutes of each other. Their vehicles had been spotted weaving in Kailua, on the island of Oahu.

Both failed field sobriety tests and were released on $500 bail, police said.

Rodriguez pleaded no contest in Los Angeles to three traffic violations in 2004, including drunken driving. She completed a three-month alcohol program and is serving a three-year probation term.

Prosecutors in Los Angeles planned to ask a court for a probation violation hearing.

Rodriguez, 27, was also cited for speeding in Hawaii three times this year.

'Lost' star Rodriguez gets jail for drunk driving 2 hours, 50 minutes ago



Chris

She'd rather go to prison than do community service? Does she know that women's prisons in real life are considerably less glamorous than they are on Cinemax?
Maybe she thinks that it'll just be a big hole in the ground that they'll throw her into...

She's tryng to up her "street cred".

No, she is trying to take the easy way out. Instead of doing community service (240 hours), which would help others, she is taking the selfish route. She knows that she is going to be kept away from the gen pop and she will live in relative comfort for 5 days. They probably have finished shooting this season, so it isn't going to affect her time on Lost.

Chris

Dang, fast conviction.

240 hours of community service is a lot more inconvenient than 5 days in jail. That's 30 8 hour days.

I'd rather just get it all over with in 5 days too.

Sorry I didn't edit it correctly!

Chris

Pet Peeve alert: She'd rather go to jail than prison. The article states jail. There is a difference, you know.

Sorry, it bugs the hell out of me that people don't know the difference.

I agree with the others that she is trying to take the easier way out. I think it's also possible that she realizes that she may be spending more time in jail in the near future when her probation is partially revoked. Why not get used to it in Hawaii?

There is a difference, but it's really all over the map which one is better. There are prisons that I'd rather be at than some jails around here. The reverse is also true. Beyond that, there are differences between state and federal prisons. Federal prison life is great from what I hear compared to life at most state prisons.

I would 100% take 5 days in jail over 240 hours of community service. There's no comparison.

she's just doing what anyone who thought for two seconds would. Five days in jail would suck ass.....but 30 days of community service would be worse (and ultimately more costly for us schlubs with real jobs)

I'm not talking about the conditions of prison vs. jail. I'm talking about the distinction between what the function of each is.

i guess.... plus she isnt a girl and girl on girl is nice...

2. Detention in a jail.

pris·on Audio pronunciation of "prison" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (przn)
n.

1. A place for the confinement of persons in lawful detention, especially persons convicted of crimes.
2. A place or condition of confinement or forcible restraint.
3. A state of imprisonment or captivity.

That's why they should have made it 30 days in jail or 240 hours of community service. Then she might have made a different decision.

It's obvious from her past record that she has no respect for the law with all of her car related run ins with the law.

Chris

The distinction in most jurisdictions, and how I teach it to freshman is:

Jails are for people being held for trial, and for people serving under 1 year (misdemenaors usually).

Prisons are for those convicted and serving more than one year (felonies usually).
