Former Lost star Michelle Rodriguez has complained that the punishment she received for her 2005 DUI incident was too harsh.
The actress - best known for her role as Ana-Lucia Cortez on the show - admitted she is annoyed that she still has to wear an ankle bracelet which takes alcohol readings from her body.
"For someone like me, who loves life too much to f*** it up for a sip of a beverage, this level of control isn't necessary," Rodriguez explained on her website.
She added: "I tried to get them to put me in jail but they had their mind set on this bracelet."
Rodriguez was arrested in Hawaii in December 2005 for driving under the influence of alcohol.
