Former 'Lost' star Michelle Rodriguez has been sentenced to 180 days in jail for violating her probation on previous drink driving and hit-and-run offences.
Los Angeles County Superior Court judge Daviann Mitchell sentenced Rodriguez to jail after the 29-year-old actress admitted failing to complete community service obligations.
Rodriguez was also found to have taken alcohol on at least three occasions while wearing a monitoring bracelet; this violated her probation requirement to refrain from drinking for 90 days.
She must begin her sentence by Christmas Eve, with no prospect of early release or home confinement.
She must also complete her 30 days of service for California's transportation department.
Rodriguez's probation violation arises from a 2004 case in which she pleaded no contest to three traffic offences in Los Angeles, including hit-and-run and drink driving.
She received a 60-day jail sentence for a probation violation in May 2006 but was released after four hours and 20 minutes due to overcrowding.
Rodriguez was also sentenced to five days in jail in Hawaii in 2006 in another drink driving case; at the time she chose jail after refusing the judge's offer of community service.
