HONOLULU (AP) -- Michelle Rodriguez, a star on ABC's "Lost," complained after her arrest for drunken driving earlier this month that police were taking away her freedom.
Officers pulled Rodriguez over early on Dec. 1 after spotting her black Mercedes allegedly weaving down Pali Highway in the Honolulu-bound lanes from Kailua.
Another "Lost" star, Cynthia Watros, was arrested 15 minutes later on the same road when police saw her car also moving erratically.
Both allegedly failed sobriety tests. Rodriguez had a blood alcohol level of 0.145, nearly twice the legal limit of 0.08, according to documents obtained by KITV-TV.
KITV quoted court and police documents that said Rodriguez was "very argumentative" and kept interrupting the officer who was explaining drunk driving sanctions to her.
"I don't (expletive) 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!" she said, KITV reported Friday.
The officer who took Rodriguez in a police car to the Kailua substation quoted her as saying "Just take 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."
Rodriguez' lawyer declined comment.
The actress plays police officer Ana Lucia on the hit ABC drama series filmed in Hawaii.
If this is the girl I saw on "Punked", she is a filthy mouthed piece of trash.
Post #18 below looks a lot better. Some people just don't take a good mug shot.
More than likely it's the Spanish colloquialism "Papi", usually meaning just "dude" or "guy."
I hope you forgot your sarcasm tag. If you didn't, use one of these.
Okay.
okay by me.
She's too pretty to be in jail.
Maybe the weirdness of the show is overlapping in her personal life. She and Ms. Watros have a chance at becoming pretty big stars but they're going to screw it all up - what a couple of dummies! There are thousands of people that would kill for a part in a major successful television series. Just like that bozo that was on the Sopranos and other shows and robbed and killed a man in NYC.
Don't drink and Ms Rodriguez. Applies to the "pretty people" as well as us peasants.
Good advice. I have never drank and Ms. Rodriguezed in my life.
Oops.
Obviously that should be "Don't drink and drive Ms Rodriguez." Apparently I shouldn't drink and post either...
She wouldn't look put of place in a remake of "The Warriors" in the Deborah Van Valkenburgh role (I think that's the girlfriend that ditches the Orphans).
LOL!!
Ummm.... Yes, they were. That's what it means to be arrested.
Don't want to be arrested? Don't drive with a BAC of 0.14. That will significantly reduce the likelihood.
Anything else?
See #18. I think the term "cutie" applies.
Looks too permanently pi$$ed off for my tastes...
"I hope you forgot your sarcasm tag. If you didn't, use one of these."
Oh come on! If you kindly disregard the heavy bags under her drunken eyes, you'll see that she's an adequate "poor man's" Angelina Jolie.
Instead of giving a breathilizer test they should give an IQ test. These empty-skulled Hollywood imbeciles would fail hands down.
