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.

Yes dear, that would be the purpose of an arrest.
I'm involved in 10-20 wreckless driving incidents per week : )
Note to AP: It's PAPI, not "Poppie." Puerto Rican and Dominican girls call me it all the time, although they mean it as a compliment.
"Poppie was a little sloppy."
That reminds me of the stand-up routine by Elaine Boosler (or maybe it was Rita Rudner) who said that she yearned for motherhood, and that she wanted to be called "mommy" by someone other than Spanish guys at construction sites.
Is she pregnant?
Clemenza!
Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo!

Forgive me for butchering the language. I am a lonely man this Christmas. Here's hoping for a better New Year for all of us!
I can suspend disbelief about a lot of things on the show -- the crash itself, the hatch, the others, the monster -- but her actually being treated as a leader, and not fragged by now, is totally beyond belief! And as I said in another thread about her, when she tied Sayid to the tree, the tree outacted her.
they spelled it wrong its "papi"
its spanish/mexican slang
She thought the cop was George Herbert Walker Bush...
"It's Bush's fault!"
LOL
