Kiefer Sutherland, TV's Jack Bauer, Released after Serving DUI Sentence

Kiefer Sutherland, who was jailed nearly two months ago for violating a DUI probation by, you guessed it, driving under the influence again, was released yesterday from the Los Angeles County jail.  Sutherland had pleaded no contest to having a blood alcohol content (BAC) above the legal limit of 0.08, which netted him 30 days in the clink, plus another 18 for the violation of probation.

However, the production of the hit TV show "24," which features Sutherland as inimitable and intimidating special agent Jack Bauer, has been halted due to the Writer's Guild of America's writer's strike.
