Nolo Contendre for Kiefer

Whoa! Kiefer Sutherland pleaded No Contest to charges stemming from a DUI arrest on September 25th. He agreed to 48 days in jail - 30 for the DUI and 18 for violation of probation - as suggested by the DA! He is not eligible for any sort of ankle-braceleting or the like; he must spend 18 days in jail immediately after being sentenced in December, and then has until July to fulfill the rest of his sentence. Sutherland was also sentenced to 18 months in alcohol classes and 6-months of weekly alcohol-therapy sessions.

Kiefer was already on probation for a 2004 DUI, for which he served 50 hours of community service and attended an alcohol-treatment program, which he completed back in 2005.

FOX released a statement, praising the 24 actor for taking matters into his own hands in order to ensure things go smoothly for the hit show and his co-workers. At the end, they said they "looked forward to a long relationship" with him.
