California dui lawyer news

California dui probationer Kiefer Sutherland is set to be a free man beginning Monday morning.

A rep for the Glendale City Jail said the “24” actor will be released from the place he’s spent the last month-and-a-half on Monday. The rep said Sutherland will have served his full California dui sentence on that date.


Sutherland checked into the Glendale City Jail on December 5, the same afternoon that he was sentenced to 48 hours in jail for by an LA court judge.

Sutherland requested to serve his time in the Glendale facility.

Sutherland was required to serve 30 days for a DUI charge stemming from September 2007 and 18 days for violating probation on a 2004 DUI, Nick Velasquez, spokesman for the LA City Attorney’s Office confirmed.

On the morning of September 25, Sutherland was stopped by police after making an illegal U-Turn in West LA. Sutherland was arrested after he tested above .08 and released after posting $25,000 bail.

Sutherland previously issued a statement over the incident.

“I’m very disappointed in myself for the poor judgment I exhibited recently, and I’m deeply sorry for the disappointment and distress this has caused my family, friends and co-workers on ‘24’ and at 20th Century Fox. I appreciate the support and concern that has been extended to me these last weeks both personally and professionally,” his statement read.
