‘Lost’ star settles two cases

Michelle Rodriguez, who plays police officer Ana Lucia on ABC’s “Lost,” has settled two traffic cases in Hawaii as she awaits a court hearing on a drunk driving charge -- her fourth alleged traffic violation this year.

Rodriguez was fined $357 for a speeding violation Tuesday after her lawyer entered a no-contest plea on her behalf. She was cited for driving 83 mph in a 55 mph zone on Oahu on Nov. 1. The 27-year-old actress also paid a $300 fine for an earlier traffic offense on the island. Previously, she paid a fine for a third speeding violation.

Rodriguez and “Lost” costar Cynthia Watros are scheduled to appear Dec. 29 in Kaneohe District Court on drunk-driving charges. They were driving separate cars when they were arrested Dec. 1 in Kailua.

In L.A., Rodriguez completed a three-month alcohol program and is serving a three-year probation term after pleading no contest in June 2004 to hit and run, drunk driving and driving with a suspended license.
