A telephone call left with Rodriguez’s publicist, Marcel Pariseau, wasn’t immediately returned Friday. Watros’ publicist, Dominique Appel, said Friday that she had no comment.

Rodriguez, 27, and Watros, 37, were to appear at a driver’s license revocation hearing at Kaneohe District Court on Dec. 29, police records showed.

Motorists arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant automatically have their driver’s licenses revoked. They are given a temporary license that allows them to drive, but under several restrictions.
