Cell Door Slams for Actress Michelle Rodriguez
Television and film actress Michelle Rodriguez, popular for her roles as Letty on The Fast and the Furious and Ana Lucia on TV's "Lost," has started her jail sentence for violation of probation in a hit-and-run case from June 2004.
As we reported in Total DUI's Celebrity DUI Spotlight, Rodriguez was nabbed for DUI in Hawaii in 2005 as well as speeding, and spent five days in jail after a guilty plea. She went to jail a second time for this violation of probation, and was released immediately because of overcrowding (a none too rare occurrence in California jails).
However, there was one other stipulation for the probation violation: community service. Rodriguez didn't do the 30 hours of community service, but claimed she did on court documents. This fabrication didn't go over well with her judge.
Now, Rodriguez will serve 180 days, and like her fellow actor DUI offender Kiefer Sutherland, will serve jail time with no possible release. On December 23, Sunday, two days before Christmas, Michelle Rodriguez entered jail. 177 days and counting....
