Michelle
Rodriguez Sentenced to More Jail Time 5/23/06
Lost star Michelle Rodriguez is heading back to jail after being
sentenced to serve 60 days in prison for violating her probation.
Rodriguez was arrested in December (05) on suspicion of drink driving
in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The arrest came six months after she pleaded no contest in Los Angeles
to a hit and run, drink driving and driving with a suspended license and
was placed on probation.
The Hawaiian incident violated her California probation, according to
website TMZ.com.
Judge Rex Heeseman sentenced Rodriguez to serve 60 days in jail in a
Los Angeles courtroom on Monday (22MAY06) and read off a list of other
sanctions.
Rodriguez was also ordered to complete a 30-day alcohol rehabilitation
program and perform 30 days of community service, including participating
in programs run by Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
The star also had her probation extended for three more years to June
2009.
Rodriguez and her attorneys left without making a comment and the judge
did not disclose the starting date of her new jail sentence.
The actress pleaded guilty in April (06) to the Hawaiian drink driving
charge and chose five days jail time over performing 240 hours of
community service.
The star's character has been killed off on the hit series, but ABC TV
executives insist it has nothing to do with her legal problems.
