Michelle Rodriguez seems to blame anything and everybody but herself for her two drunken-driving convictions The 'Lost' star, who was convicted of the DUI offense in 2004 and 2005, expressed her disgust at driving regulations and the restrictions she faces on her personal blog.
She writes: "At 15 miles an hour, never killed a pot head . . . We get stopped driving like 15 miles an hour down a 35- to 40-mph road... I cry, this sucks a - - "
"... I hire some lawyer from Hawaii, lose my 28 acres of land and my home in Jersey paying him off, just so I can get the same treatment I would have gotten from a public defender. I real ized my payday in movies was way better than TV at that moment."
She bemoans yet another case, "I get bitch slapped by Uncle Sam again in Hollywood. I get a sentence to wear a bracelet for three months . . . to detect liquor content in your sweat . . . The second day the guy calls me and says you've got an alcohol reading. I was like, I haven't had any liquor. He's like, well you can't use Listerine, no shampoo, or soap, or lotion, or perfume, with alcohol in it." When the bracelet registered alcohol twice more, "I started to feel a bit like a pawn . . . For someone like me . . . this level of control just isn't necessary."
Apparently the actress spent her time behind bars doing arts and crafts. Rodriguez adds, "Drawing pictures for everybody on their shirts. Writing poetry. And singing show tunes with the girls... I'm not surprised they kicked me out early."
