Coincidental that her movie debut and her jail debut can both be filed under 'Girlfight,' don't you think? Actress Michelle Rodriguez found herself in jail after a woman called the Jersey City police and reported she had been attacked by the actress.

The women claims she was talking on the phone around 6:00 p.m. on Saturday when Michelle disconnected the phone, punched her in the face and pulled her hair. She tried to escape but The Fast And Furious star blocked the doorway until she bit her arm, which allowed her to get by.

Michelle plead not guilty and was released on $2,500 bail and of course, she couldn't be reached for comment.
