    Kiefer Sutherland Busted for DUI in Hollywood
    TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 03:30 PM EDT UPDATED

    By Ken Lee


    Kiefer Sutherland was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Tuesday morning in Hollywood, Los Angeles police department officials confirm.

    Around 1 a.m., Sutherland, 40, made an illegal U-turn. Officers pulled him over, and the 24 actor subsequently failed a field sobriety test.

    He was booked at the LAPD Hollywood station and was released at 5:42 a.m. on $25,000 bail.

    A court date of Oct. 16 was set.

    A rep for Sutherland said Tuesday: "It would be premature to comment at this time."

    Because the actor was previously convicted of DUI in 2004, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of four days in jail if convicted for this latest arrest.

    Sutherland is also currently serving a five-year probation term for the prior DUI. If a judge deems the actor violated those terms, "Sutherland could get up to 60 days in jail or worse, depending on varying circumstances," according to DUI lawyer Lawrence Taylor.

    Court records first obtained by CelebTV.com also reveal that Sutherland has previous arrests as well.

    In 1989, he was arrested for DUI and carrying a concealed and loaded weapon. In a deal with prosecutors, he pleaded no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving, and the other charges were dropped.

    In 1993, he was arrested for DUI, and again, pleaded out the same way. He was given the option of serving 12 days in jail or performing 211 hours of community service, and opted for the latter.

    Before being stopped by police on Tuesday morning, Sutherland attended the FOX Fall Eco-Casino party at Area nightclub where he was photographed on the red carpet. At the event, he was also spotted signing autographs for young fans.

    Good thing he doesn't star on Lost or else his character would be killed off in a few episodes.

    OK; I know celebrities don't have to spend as much time in jail as everyone else for this -- but why?? What loophole does their lawyer use to get them out so early? Could a family lawyer of the average joe do the same, assuming the same amount of money was paid?

    how many times do you have to get busted for dwi before it becomes a felony? kweefer needs to spend some time behind bars or he is going to keep doing this and maybe even kill someone.

    I wondered the same thing
    Cause when Scottie Pippen got busted
    he was in and out in 30 minutes

    Most people I know who went to jail
    Took them 4 hours just to get booked in
    and
    another 4 or so to be released

    This is if they had the money in the pocket or a family member paying
    what ever as soon as they went in.

    Jack Bauer in jail? I'm sure it's an undercover operation. MS-13 is trying to kill David Palmer (or whoever's President now). Whoever is Jack Bauer's cell-mate must know something. I wouldn't want to be there for the interrogation.
