Sutherland begins 48-day jail sentence

U.S. actor Kiefer Sutherland Wednesday began his 48-day sentence at Glendale City Jail for drunken driving, it was reported.

The "24" star pleaded no contest Oct. 9 to driving with a blood-alcohol level over the legal California limit of 0.08 percent.

Sutherland was on probation for a 2004 DUI conviction when he was pulled over Sept. 25 after leaving a party and subsequently arrested.

He was formally sentenced to 48 days in jail Wednesday for the DUI offense and probation violation, People.com said. According to his plea agreement, Sutherland will spend the entire time behind bars.

The actor also has been sentenced to five years of probation, and ordered to enroll in an 18-month alcohol education class and attend weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for six months, E! Online reported. // Copyright 2007 by United Press International
