Trouble With The Law

Although the fight was public, the roommate did not press charges later on. Then, in November 2003 she was charged with 8 misdemeanor counts related to driving incidents.

The charges included hit and run and a DUI. She pleaded no contest to 3 of the charges and was given 2 days in jail with community service, an alcohol program, and 3-year’s probation. She got in trouble for driving violations again in 2005 in Hawaii.

She had to choose between a $500 fine or 5 days in jail for driving under the influence. 

This incident violated the terms of her probation and she was sentenced to 60 days in jail with a month alcohol rehabilitation program and another month of community service.

The actress did not have to do time as the jail was overcrowded at the time. 

After this, she violated her terms of release again by not completing her community service and was sentenced to 180 days in jail.

She got out after 18 days because of overcrowding in the jail again.
