LATEST: Lost star Michelle Rodriguez is heading back to jail after being sentenced to serve 60 days in prison for violating her probation. Rodriguez was arrested in December on suspicion of drunk driving in Honolulu, Hawaii. The arrest came six months after she pleaded no contest in Los Angeles to a hit and run, drunk driving and driving with a suspended license and was placed on probation.
The Hawaiian incident violated her California probation, according to website TMZ.com. Judge Rex Heeseman sentenced Rodriguez to serve 60 days in jail in a Los Angeles courtroom on Monday and read off a list of other sanctions.
Rodriguez was also ordered to complete a 30-day alcohol rehabilitation program and perform 30 days of community service, including participating in programs run by Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The star also had her probation extended for three more years to June 2009.
Rodriguez and her attorneys left without making a comment and the judge did not disclose the starting date of her new jail sentence. The actress pleaded guilty in April to the Hawaiian drink driving charge and chose five days jail time over performing 240 hours of community service.
The star's character has been killed off on the hit series, but ABC TV executives insist it has nothing to do with her legal problems.
