Holloway Criticizes Hawaii Police for Targeting Lost Stars
3/12/07
Lost star Josh Holloway fears he and his cast mates have been cursed by
success - because they're all "easy" police targets on Hawaii,
where they film the desert island drama.
The actor, who plays bad-boy Sawyer on the show, isn't surprised that
three of his cast mates have been arrested and six others cited for
driving-related incidents in the past 18 months.
He tells the British edition of Glamour magazine, "We're easy
targets.
"First of all we're on an island, which means it's very easily
patrolled. And we happen to be famous."
Holloway is one of the six stars who have been cited for driving
offences - the 36-year-old actor received a speeding ticket in September
(06).
He adds, "I told 'em they should be embarrassed about giving me a
ticket for doing 53 in a 35 zone. I mean, come on! Go catch real
criminals."
Former co-star Ademale Akinnouye-Agbaje was arrested in September (06)
for disobeying a police officer and driving without a license, while
Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros were arrested within minutes of each
other, on drunken-driving charges, in December 2005. Both pleaded guilty.
Meanwhile, Dominic Monaghan was pulled over twice for speeding, as was
Naveen Andrews and former cast mate Ian Somerhalder. Fellow Lost star
Harold Perrineau JR was also stopped and cited for not having proper motor
vehicle insurance.
