Kiefer Sutherland pled guilty Tuesday afternoon on his recent DUI charge. The sentence recommendations are complicated but basically Kiefer will do 48 days in custody. The first 18 days for probation violation which he will surrender for December 21 of this year. Then Kiefer will serve an additional 30 days for the current DUI charge and must complete that sentence by July 1, 2008.

If you are worried about KSuth’s job as Jack Baur, don’t.  A rep for Twentieth Century Fox and the FOX Broadcasting Group issued this statement:

“Today our friend Kiefer Sutherland resolved his criminal case at the earliest opportunity. 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. He told us that even if he had to sacrifice more time in custody in order to protect the show and the jobs of those who work with him, he would do so. From what occurred today, it is evident he is a man of his word. We wish him well and look forward to a long relationship with him.”
