Prosecutors have accused Michelle Rodriguez of violating her probation in a 2003 drunk-driving case by failing to complete her community service and not following an alcohol education program. If the actress is found to have violated her probation, she could face between 477 and 537 days in jail and a $2,000 fine. Her attorney on Friday blamed "a clerical error" for the community-service discrepancy. A hearing is set for Oct. 12.... Kiefer Sutherland on Friday was officially charged with single counts of driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level above .08. If convicted, he faces a max of a year in jail and a minimum of four days. If found guilty of violating probation with his second DUI in 10 years, he could get hit with an additional six months.
