Kiefer heading to jail

Even Jack Bauer won’t be able to get him out of this one.

Kiefer Sutherland is heading for time behind bars following his drink-driving charge in LA. The 24 star gave no contest to a plea agreement of 30 days served by July 1 next year.

Sutherland is already due for 18 days in the custody of the L.A. County Sheriff starting December 21st.

20th Century Fox is pleased the terms can be served without interrupting production on the latest series.

“Kiefer made clear to us at the time of his arrest that his first concern was the welfare of those he worked with and that he intended to do whatever was necessary to prevent shutting down the show because of his situation,” a statement from the studio said.
