After pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated last year, Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced to either 4 days in jail (originally the sentence was for 5 but she was given 1 day credit for time served), or 240 hours of community service. Michelle chose to go to jail.

In court, Rodriguez apologized for her behavior but also blamed it on steroid injections she had been taking twice a month to treat allergies to “dust and cockroach resin” which began when she arrived in Hawaii last year. She said the effects of the steroids made her “manic,” kept her up late at night and caused her to have “menstrual cycles three times” a month.

“I wasn’t right in my head,” she said in court. “None of that verbal behavior was directed towards them. It was directed towards myself.”

About her arrest, she said, “I personally am thankful that I was stopped because of the fact that I didn’t acknowledge my own behavior and how sporadic it was until all hell broke loose in my life.”

Go directly to jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200.
