Actress Michelle Rodriguez began a 180-day jail term in Los Angeles on Sunday for probation violation, the second Hollywood celebrity after Kiefer Sutherland to face a Christmas incarceration.
According to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. records, the former "Lost" star checked in to Century Regional Detention Facility inLynwood, south of downtown Los Angeles, under her given name, Mayte. Michelle is her middle name.
Rodriguez must serve the full stretch in the overcrowded jail, where sentences for minor crimes are often cut short. In November, actressLindsay Lohan served 84 minutes of a 1-day sentence, while reality TV starlet Nicole Richie was released 80 minutes into her 4-day term in August.
A judge sentenced Rodriguez in October for violating her probation on previous drunken-driving and hit-and-run offenses, and specified that she not be granted work furlough, early release or home confinement.
