"Lost" Stars Find DUI Trouble

Two of the stars of Lost have found themselves in trouble.

Michelle Rodriguez, who plays the tough-talking ex-cop Ana-Lucia on the ABC drama, and Cynthia Watros, who plays the somewhat mysterious psychiatrist Libby, were busted separately on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol early Thursday morning on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

The cops nabbed Watros, 37, first at 12:05 a.m., after she was observed weaving on the Pali Highway, the road connecting the cities Kailua and Honolulu. Rodriguez, 27, was arrested at 12:20 a.m., after she too was seen operating her car unsteadily on the same stretch of road, according to police records.

Both women failed field sobriety tests and were taken into custody.

Rodriguez and Watros each posted $500 bail and were released Thursday morning. They are scheduled to appear in Kaneohe District Court on Dec. 29.

Publicists for the show and the actresses' reps declined requests for comment on the arrests.

Honolulu police spokesman Captain Frank Fujii said he hoped the high-profile arrests did not send the wrong message to the public.

"The news is not who got arrested, the news is a reminder that we should not be drinking and driving and it's very timely with respect to the holiday season," Fujii told the Honolulu Advertiser.

While Watros is not known to have a prior police record, it's not the first time Rodriguez has had a driving-related run-in with the law.

The Blue Crush star previously pleaded no contest to three misdemeanors--a hit and run, driving with a suspended license and driving under the influence--stemming from two different incidents that occurred in Los Angeles back in 2003.

She was sentenced to 48 hours in jail, community service and treatment in a 30-day alcohol program, as well as three years of probation.

Her earlier legal troubles may come back to haunt Rodriguez in her current case. According to TMZ.com, the Los Angeles City Attorney's office is investigating whether the actress' arrest violated the terms of her probation.

If the L.A. City Attorney determines that Rodriguez did, in fact, violate her probation, the office could hold a probation revocation hearing and the actress could face the maximum penalty of six months in jail on each of her previous three charges.

Rodriguez was also arrested in 2002 for assaulting her roommate; charges in that case were later dropped when the woman declined to pursue the allegations in court.

As a result of their drunk driving arrests, both Watros and Rodriguez will automatically have their licenses revoked, which could complicate their commutes to that mysterious island, er, the set of Lost.

Perhaps aided by the addition of Rodriguez, Watros and other new cast members, Lost continues to rack up monster ratings for ABC in its second season, consistently pulling in around 20 million viewers each week.

Fans also seem to like the option of downloading the show via the iTunes Music Store--the two most recent episodes of Lost ("What Kate Did" and "Collision") were the top two video downloads on the site as of Friday.

Beginning early next year, Verizon Wireless customers will be able to get their Lost fix over their cell phones, when the Emmy-winning series launches its first spinoff, Lost Video Diaries. Each mobisode will run several minutes and will be available exclusively to mobile phone users.
