Akinnuoye-Agbaje cited for driving without license

Another cast member of "Lost" has run afoul of Hawaiian authorities for allegedly doing improper things while driving.

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, who plays the enigmatic Mr. Eko on the ABC series, was arrested over the weekend and charged with driving without a license and disobeying a police officer. He posted $500 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on the charges on Sept. 26.

The 39-year-old actor was pulled over about 2:25 a.m. Saturday in Waikiki, the Honolulu Star-Bulletin reports. Further details on the charges, including the reason officers stopped Akinnuoye-Agbaje, weren't available.

Akinnuoye-Agbaje is the third member of the "Lost" cast to be arrested for traffic violations. Late last year both Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros were charged with DUI in separate incidents on the same night (neither is still with the show). Watros paid a fine and had her license suspended, while Rodriguez, who was on probation for another DUI in California, spent five days in jail and was also fined. Rodriguez also did a brief stint in jail upon her return for the mainland.

Several other cast members, among them Josh Holloway, Dominic Monaghan and Naveen Andrews, have been cited for speeding, the paper says, but were not arrested.

"Lost" begins its third season on ABC Wednesday, Oct. 4.
