"Lost" actress Cynthia Watros was fined $312 and ordered to undergo an alcohol assessment and 14 hours of counseling after pleading guilty to a single count of drunken driving today.

Watros, who appeared in Kane'ohe District Court before Judge James Dannenberg, told the court "I'm sorry," after her guilty plea. She plays Libby on the award-winning ABC show.

Prosecutors also waived a crossing white line citation that had been tacked onto the DUI.

Prosecutors say the sentence is typical for first-time offenders.

Watros, 37, and fellow "Lost" actress Michelle Rodriguez, 27, were arrested Nov. 24 in Kailua driving separate cars.

Rodriguez last month entered a not guilty plea on a charge of DUI. Her trial is set for March 30. She plays Ana Lucia on the show.
