Rodriguez Settles Traffic Cases

December 15, 2005

Actress Michelle Rodriguez settled two of her four traffic violations by paying fines in court on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old was ordered to pay a total of $657 in Hawaii for speeding offences in October and November this year.

However, Rodriguez and her Lost co-star Cynthia Watros are scheduled to return to court at the end of the month to face drunk-driving charges. The pair were driving separate cars when they were arrested on Nov. 30 within 15 minutes of each other near Honolulu.

In June 2004, Rodriguez pleaded no contest in Los Angeles to three more traffic violations—hit and run, driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license.

She is currently serving a three-year probation term and could face a driver's license revocation for breaching its terms.
