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.
