Kiefer Charged with DUI

Earlier in the week we told you that Kiefer Sutherland could be charged with a DUI for driving drunk. Today he was officially charged and according to the city’s attorney’s office, he could end up going to jail for more than a year. The reason for the steep sentence would deal with the fact that this is the second DUI within a number of years. Police believe this also means that he has violated probation, which was given during the first DUI that occurred in 2004. If the courts decide Sutherland is guilty of probation violation, he could serve another six months on top of any sentence that he is given.

Sutherland was scheduled for arraignment on October 16. However, as the original crime is a misdemeanor he does not have to show up in court unless a judge orders him to arrive. At this point that has not happened.
