Kiefer Sutherland Charged With DUI and Probation Violation

Kiefer Sutherland, star of the controversial hit show ‘24’, faces up to 18 months in prison after being charged with DUI and violating his probation from a 2004 DUI.

The L.A. Times reports that Sutherland was arrested for driving with a blood alcohol level (BAC) over the 0.08 percent legal limit for DUI in California. A Los Angeles City Attorney’s spokesman said prosecutors would seek to revoke Sutherland’s probation stemming from his 2004 plea to DUI.

The actor faces a year in jail if convicted on this new DUI charge plus six months for violating his probation. At the least, if convicted of DUI under California law, Sutherland would have to serve a minimum of 96 hours in jail.
