Kiefer Sutherland will serve 48 days in jail because of his DUI arrest a few weeks ago. He must immediately serve the first 18 days, which are for his probation violation, after he is sentenced. He has until July to serve the remaining 30 days. Kiefer pleaded “no contest” to the charges in part of a deal with prosecutors. E! Online reports:
In exchange for copping to a count of driving with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08 percent, prosecutors agreed to drop a second misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence, Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office spokesman Frank Mateljan told E! Online. Sutherland, 40, won’t be formally sentenced until Dec. 21.
Many wonder how this will affect his work on 24, but FOX is standing behind their lead man and issued the following statement:
Today our friend Kiefer Sutherland resolved his criminal case at the earliest opportunity. Kiefer made clear to us at the time of his arrest that his first concern was the welfare of those he worked with and that he intended to do whatever was necessary to prevent shutting down the show because of his situation. He told us that even if he had to sacrifice more time in custody in order to protect the show and the jobs of those who work with him, he would do so. From what occurred today, it is evident he is a man of his word. We wish him well and look forward to a long relationship with him.
It’s too bad Kiefer Sutherland isn’t the star of that other FOX show Prison Break. Ha! See what I did there? Because he’s going to prison. And then he could break out. And both shows are on FOX. Get it? Yeah? No? I hate you! *runs away sobbing and slams the door*

Texas Tranny | October 10, 2007 at 11:01 am
Fuck, I got arrested for my 3rd DUI a couple of weeks ago. I’mm looking at least 30 days in jail.
I think I’m going to tell the jailers that I’m gay, so I can be segregated for the bad guys.
I’ll be able to beat the queers off me……..get it……beat the queers off…….
veggi | October 10, 2007 at 11:05 am
I love me some kiefer. The next 24 should take place in my bedroom. ooOOoooo JACK!
TT- I”m scared for ya.
Texas Tranny | October 10, 2007 at 11:10 am
Thanks, Veggi
I should be ok, I blew a .086, and maybe be able to cop a plea down to wreckless driving.
Riotboy | October 10, 2007 at 11:10 am
DUIs are not funny.
/don’t drink and drive

Well, I’m off for a week in Chicago.
Have fun and be nice.
See ya’ll in a week.

I prefer riding my horse trashed. You only risk falling off- and that doesn’t hurt until the next day.
JagedNS | October 10, 2007 at 11:27 am
@5 24 and The Wire are both excellent shows that have very little in common so it’s hard to compare the 2 of them really.
FRIST!!! | October 10, 2007 at 11:30 am
#1 You are not FRIST!!!
bluevelvet | October 10, 2007 at 11:31 am
Say what you want about the man, he’s going to walk his sexy self into the cop shop on Dec. 21 and do his time like a man. Unlike a certain diseased socialite we all know, he knows he screwed up and he’s willing to pay the price without whining about it. Good lord, he just keeps getting hotter.
Vince Lombardi | October 10, 2007 at 11:37 am
I’m not crazy about getting his second DUI dropped – I’d rather see him get a conviction with sentence set aside for his sentencing deal on the violation of probation. Getting his second DUI dropped is like it never happened – and that’s not accurate NOR is it being a man and taking his lumps. It’s like saying you can have two DUIs and only pay for one.
hiney vaginey | October 10, 2007 at 11:42 am
He drinks because his name sounds like Queefer.
mari | October 10, 2007 at 11:45 am
k. so why the fuck has no one mentioned the fact that there is a fucking Christmas tree up!!!!!? That he um, jumps into.
I seriously hope that is an oooold video because Halloween’s not even here yet.
MrsP | October 10, 2007 at 11:47 am
TT! I’m here! Sorry I didn’t get back to you yesterday. Had to get back to work so I left the site & I couldn’t remember which posting I said hi to you in. I’ve been working so I haven’t been superficialing! I hear Chicago has more bars for square block than any other city. Is that why you’re going? (I just made that up).
i'm not PARANOID | October 10, 2007 at 11:48 am
I don’t believe any of this is real. Why do you think it’s all happening while they film the upcoming season of 24? Why do you think he’s not fighting any of it? Some people are in on it, some aren’t. When he goes to jail, there will be hidden cameras. A few of the staff will be in on it, most will not. There will be fights and eventually he’ll break out (with help). What they film will turn out to be hours 22 and 23.
veggi | October 10, 2007 at 11:49 am
Geez – didn’t anybody get that my comment at #15 was really about sex?
Texas Tranny | October 10, 2007 at 11:49 am
Yep, MrsP
Just going to Chicago for fun.
veggi | October 10, 2007 at 11:53 am
@24- go fuck yourself- leave my horse alone!!!!!!!!! god hates you
random intrusion | October 10, 2007 at 11:53 am
He’s going to see if any of the Bulls or Bears can live up to their names.
Texas Tranny | October 10, 2007 at 11:55 am
Also going to see the play “Wicked” on Thursday and then the Stars vs the Blackhawks on Friday.
Later………………………………………………………………………
superfan | October 10, 2007 at 12:19 pm
I’ll bet nobody else in Chicago is putting together that particular doubleheader.
Jus' Stupid | October 10, 2007 at 12:29 pm
With TT a double header is exactly what is in the cards….
Frank Mateljan | October 10, 2007 at 12:36 pm
Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office spokesman Frank Mateljan is the man!!
There, that was on topic wasn’t it?
mrs.t | October 10, 2007 at 1:41 pm
Is Kiefer getting younger?
I’m 38 and I remember being WAY younger than him when I was 20. Like, ten or twelve years younger.
Geoff | October 10, 2007 at 1:47 pm
24 is the lames shit ever. Have they every had any islamic arab terrorists? No. Typical, liberal, spineless, BS.
Hollywoodaholic | October 10, 2007 at 1:58 pm
48 days in jail for Kiefer? And how many times does he get tortured? Because that happens just about every hour for anyone captured on “24.”
IWONKY | October 10, 2007 at 1:58 pm
Queefer Blows. His daddy is better.
hey ya | October 10, 2007 at 2:50 pm
Wtf are you talking about, Geoff? There were Arab Muslim terrorists in seasons two and four. The writers avoided naming Fayed’s country in season six, but it was pretty obvious he was of middle eastern descent. Apparently you have no use for spell check, proper capitalization, or the facts.
reise | October 10, 2007 at 2:52 pm
why is it that this is keefer’s FOURTH DUI and he gets less attention than any of the female celebrities did on their first? double standard much?
FatDrunkAndStupid | October 10, 2007 at 2:57 pm
Paris Hilton really is the Jesus Christ of Celebrities. She did the time so all the other celebrities can get off with a slap on the wrist. 43 Days for a supspended license, and now nobody gives a shit that Keiffer Sutherland just got busted for his FOURTH DUI. How much does anybody want to bet that when he gets out by the end of the week because of “overcrowding” the media responds with a collective yawn?
Beautiful Deaf Girl | October 10, 2007 at 3:01 pm
I hope he has to go away for 30 years, and then we won’t have to look at his ugly old face anymore ever.
Hey, Fish Dude why don’t you put any posts about any good looking guys. We all could really careless about guys that are as old as Hell.
Geoff | October 10, 2007 at 3:10 pm
Hey ya, you said it. “The writers avoided naming Fayed’s country in season six” Lame. Liberal. Spineless. Ever notice how Jack has his own patriot act that lets him torture, kill, and no one has any thing bad to say about but liberals are all up in arms if our actual agents act like that. Lame. Liberal. Spineless.

Oh be quiet. Since its first season, all scripts for “24″ have been vetted by “The Leadership Institute” as required by Joel Surnow, the series co-creator and executive producer.
Donkey Punch | October 10, 2007 at 3:58 pm
Assholes who drink while under influence should lose their license for a year as well as get jail time.
Wonder how much time he will spend in jail. Bet it will be longer than the chicks recently.
Alert | October 10, 2007 at 4:44 pm
You mean a Hollywood studio is supportive of their meal ticket? WOW, what a shocker. They’re all money-grubbing parasites, they would support Kiefer if he got drunk and drove a semi through a daycare every day.
Giggles | October 10, 2007 at 6:32 pm
At least he “appears” to accept responsibility for his actions. Anyone, anyone?
jacknasty | October 10, 2007 at 7:53 pm
well, to be honest this seems worse then the Paris situation. It is like what Kiefers 4th dui?
whatever | October 10, 2007 at 7:55 pm
The entire season of 24 is going to be nothing but Jack Bauer sitting in a cell, smoking cigarettes.
There’s a prison rape scene at hour 5.
whatever | October 10, 2007 at 7:56 pm
Oh yeah…
How FUCKING HARD is it for a FUCKING MILLIONAIRE
whatever | October 10, 2007 at 7:57 pm
Sorry, hit the wrong key.
How FUCKING HARD is it for a FUCKING MILLIONAIRE to hire a FUCKING DRIVER when they feel like FUCKING DRINKING THEIR ASS OFF?!?
A rich person who gets a dui should get double the sentence for being fucking stupid.
flavio | October 10, 2007 at 10:36 pm
You guys are being very harshy, I´m from brazil and I drink and drive all the time, I dont give a fuck, muuahuhuae, I love my country laws… hahahha.
fuckfrist | October 11, 2007 at 12:21 am
Fourtunately, we couldnt have written a better script than this gem..Thanks Keifer! But, if we had to, you might have to wait up to 6 months…and you may have to revise it 10 or 12 times to get what you paid for. But hey, we went to Harvard…Thats why we run unapposed for the most part, not to mention the fact that nobody else on the planet can write nearly as ineffectually as we can, and get paid more. So kudos creative people..way to take a back seat during another potentially stifiling time for artists and directors, who are made to produce the bile we write and have nearly no hope of a residual..its the spineless that makes this all possible.
