Actor Kiefer Sutherland has been sentenced to 48 days in jail stemming from his DUI arrest this past summer and violating his probation. Kiefer was sentenced to serve the time consecutively at the Glendale City Jail. The alternative was the L.A. County prison, so he lucked out in that regard. He has until March 30 to complete his jail sentence.

Asked if he had any comment, Sutherland, 40, smiled and shook his head as he walked away from the courtroom.

Judge Stuart M. Rice also sentenced Sutherland to five years probation, and he must complete an 18-month alcohol education program and attend weekly therapy sessions for six months.

Sutherland released this statement following his arrest saying, “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.”
