'Lost' pair arrested for drunken driving
Two "Lost" actresses were arrested yesterday in Windward Oahu on suspicion of drunken driving.
Michelle Rodriguez, 27, and Cynthia Watros, 37, were in separate cars when they were pulled over by police at about 12:35 a.m. yesterday in Kailua, KHON-TV reported.
People magazine reported Rodriguez had been arrested for three driving misdemeanors in Los Angeles in 2003.
Rodriguez plays a tough character in the TV series, while Watros plays a newcomer from the tail section of the airplane that crashed at the beginning of the show.
They each posted $500 bail and were released.
Police Capt. Frank Fujii did not return calls to the Star-Bulletin. Police spokeswoman Michelle Yu refused comment. But Fujii told People magazine, "They were arrested just before midnight without incident, and both women were driving their own vehicles."
Charges are expected to be filed Dec. 29 in Kaneohe District Court.
The "Lost" publicist did not return a call to the Star-Bulletin.
