Jail Tells Rodriguez to Get "Lost"
Michelle Rodriguez didn't get the special star treatment; she got the usual Hollywood (and anywhere else in Los Angeles County) treatment.
Sentenced to 60 days in a L.A. County jail for violating probation with a drunken-driving conviction in Hawaii, the former Lost castaway served all of four hours and twenty-seven minutes before being released from custody last week, online records show.
According to the L.A. City Attorney's office, which pursued the Rodriguez prosecution, the actress benefited from the county's overcrowded jails.
"It's the Sheriff's Department--their policy for non-violent offenders [sentenced] to under 90 days is for them to be booked and released the same day," City Attorney spokesman Frank Mateljan said Tuesday.
Rodriguez, sentenced on May 22, turned herself into authorities last Thursday. She was arrested at 9 a.m., records show, and booked (under her given name, Mayte) at 10:34 a.m. At one minute before 1 p.m., she was assigned a "permanent housing" location. And at 27 minutes after 1 p.m., she was released. The Shawshank Redemption, it wasn't.
In the last four years, as the federal government has demanded L.A. County ease inmate gridlock, 150,000 people have been released early from its jails, the Los Angeles Times reported last week.
Rodriguez, 27, remains on the hook for community service, and other terms of her sentencing, Mateljan said. "Hopefully, she stays out of trouble," he added.
The Fast and the Furious speedster got into trouble in Los Angeles in 2003, when was arrested on two separate occasions for street-illegal behavior, including hit-and-run and driving under the influence. She eventually was sentenced to three years' probation.
In court last week, L.A. prosecutors argued that Rodriguez violated that parole when she pleaded guilty April 25 in Hawaii to a drunken-driving charge. (For that crime, Rodriguez accepted a sentence of five days in jail, serving four of them, with one day off for good behavior, in the island state's apparently less-crowded corrective system.)
The former Girlfight pugilist apparently celebrated her most recent jail release by taking in an Ultimate Fighting Championship fight card on Saturday night in Los Angeles, TMZ.com reported.
Rodriguez, who played Ana Lucia on Lost, was offed from the hit show this month. According to IMDb.com, she has one upcoming project: The indie horror film, The Breed.
