‘24’ star Kiefer Sutherland has been sentenced to 48 days in jail in his drink-driving case, prosecutors have announced.
Sutherland was ordered to serve 48 days in Glendale city jail, which he must begin before March 30 - Assistant City Attorney Dan Jeffries said.
The actor appeared in court with his lawyer for sentencing. He pleaded no contest for driving with a blood-alcohol level about the legal limit following his arrest in September.
At the time of his arrest, Sutherland was already on probation for a 2004 drink-driving arrest. He was stopped by police after leaving a Hollywood party after he made an illegal U-turn.
Following his 2004 misdemeanour DUI charge, the actor completed 50 hours of community service and attended an alcohol treatment programme.
