‘Lost’ Star Pleads No Contest to Hawaii DUI

Daniel Dae Kim gets community service for drunk driving in Hawaii.

Daniel Dae Kim, actor on the television series ‘Lost’, has pleaded no contest to charges of driving under the influence in Hawaii. Kim, 40, agreed to pay a $500 fine and perform 72 hours of community service. The judge also levied a $412 fee but indicated he will deduct $200 if Kim completes an alcohol rehabilitation program.

Kim was charged with Hawaii DUI last October after driving erratically. His blood alcohol content was reportedly .168% or more than twice the legal limit for intoxication in Hawaii. Kim had his driver’s license suspended for 6-months, though it has since been reinstated.

Kim plays Jin on the ABC series ‘Lost’, which is filmed in Hawaii.

DUI

I hope this is the way all DUI's are handled. Most first offenders have learned their lesson and will not do it again. I say, first offense, give the person a break. If this person does it again then, the only option is a more severe punishment. Also, send first offender to classes which includes trips to the morgue, viewing corpses that were killed by a drunk driver or the drunk driver his/herself. Visuals can make all the difference in the world. Just a caring citizen who once had a DUI that was changed to a PUI because Sheriff didn't show up in court. I couldn't afford an attorney and I was registered at .08. I wasn't driving erratically, just up and down the street, looking for a person that walked away from a party and everyone was concerned so a few of us got in the car to go look for him.
