I’ve got a case of deja vu. Didn’t we post this same news back in 2006? That was when Lost star Michelle Rodriguez got sprung from jail because of L.A. jail overcrowding. Well, it must still be really crowded in there, as Rodriguez served only 17 days of her 180-day sentence.

In case you’re just tuning in, Rodriguez was arrested for drunk driving in April of 2006 (and asked the arresting officer to kill her) and was sentenced to 60 days in jail. She served a couple of days, promising to do community service. She never showed, so was sentenced to the 180-day sentence she was serving until her release yesterday.

Way to deter bad behavior, Los Angeles!

Last week we told you how Lost star Michelle Rodriguez thought she was too good for community service. Well a judge thinks she’s too bad to be on the streets, and has sentenced her to 6 months in jail:

Actress Michelle Rodriguez was slapped with a 180-day prison sentence by a Los Angeles judge on Wednesday for probation violation in a hit-and-run case, justice officials told AFP.

The 29-year-old Texas-born star, most famous for her role in hit US television drama “Lost,” must report to jail to begin her sentence by December 24, the Los Angeles city attorney’s office said.

It’s the stuff that show Celebrity Justice is made of. One minute your starring on one of television’s most successful primetime shows, and the next you are behind bars. How does this stuff happen?

Last year Maegan told us about how Lost’s Michelle Rodriguez was granted a get out of jail free card for her drunk driving incident — provided she perform community service. But it looks like Michelle opted to flake on that, and is facing jail again:

Rodriguez went to court Friday to answer to the latest claims by the city attorney’s office, which said the former “Lost” actress submitted a document stating she performed community service on Sept. 25, 2006, but later admitted she was actually in New York City that day.

Rodriguez was in Los Angeles to face the judge who sentenced her to work on a road maintenance crew for the community service portion of her sentence. The judge wasn’t amused:

“I’m not impressed with your completion schedule,” she said. “There were 55 people here in court today and all but very few have completed their responsibilities. They work on much less flexible schedules than you do.”

Yeah, “regular” people don’t have the luxury of taking a month off of work on a highway crew, but they get it done somehow. Why can’t Michelle?
