Lost's Josh Holloway has publicly criticized the Hawaii police for treating both him and his fellow cast members unfairly. In an interview with British Glamour, the actor referred to what he calls the "Lost curse," citing the three arrests and six traffic citations accumulated by the cast. Holloway said that he and his co-stars are "easy targets" for the local police due to their high-profile status, and that the police should "Go catch real criminals."
In a few short years, the cast has built up a considerable arrest and citation record. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje was arrested for driving without a license during his time in Hawaii, and Cynthia Watros and Michelle Rodriguez were both arrested for drunk driving last year.
In addition to the arrests, at least six other Lost actors, including Naveen Andrews, Dominic Monaghan, and Holloway himself, have been issued citations while working in Oahu. To be fair, Holloway has been a crime victim during his stay in Hawaii as well; the actor and his wife were robbed at gunpoint in their home in 2005. The thief was arrested, however, so perhaps Holloway should cut the cops some slack.

Maybe what he's saying is true. What if the police are targeting the cast of Lost. If that's the case then the police are wrong. I'm not avocating drunk driving. I also don't like police harrassment is right either.
