Michelle Rodriguez’s jailbird life began when she was filming “Lost” in Hawaii. The Smoking Gun reports that following a heavy night out in December 2005, Rodriguez and her co-star, Cynthia Watros, were busted for drunk driving as they attempted to navigate the notoriously twisty Honolulu highway. The actors were charged with DUI, posed for bleary-eyed and completely wasted mug shots, and splashed out $500 for bail.
Watros escaped incarceration, but Rodriguez did not pass “Go.” She headed straight to jail, serving five days of hard time. However, the real punishment was still to come. Rodriguez and Watros’ party-hearty ‘tudes resulted in the actors being written off the show. According to TV Guide, after ending up on the wrong side of the law, both of Rodriguez and Watros’ “Lost” characters were bumped off — in the same episode no less.
Rodriguez had yet to learn her lesson, though. Her legal woes continued in 2006 after being busted for violating parole. Per TMZ, she was sentenced to 60 days but served four hours due to overcrowding. Rodriguez was back a year later for violating the terms of her parole again. Reuters reported that she spent the holidays in Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton’s cooler of choice, the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California. But, unlike LiLo and Hilty, Rodriguez wasn’t freed in the blink of an eyelash extension. This time around, she was banged up for a full six months.
