Kiefer Sutherland Enters No Contest Plea in DUI Case

A week before a scheduled hearing for Kiefer Sutherland’s September 24 DUI arrest, Sutherland’s attorney Blair Berk was in court entering a no contest plea on her client’s behalf.

In light of the plea, the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office issued a sentence recommendation for Sutherland of 48 days in county jail. Though it is merely a recommendation, sources tell Usmagazine.com that it’s likely what will be decided at Sutherland’s sentencing hearing on December 21.

According to the source, Sutherland will turn himself over to serve 18 days of his sentence immediately following the hearing in December, placing him in jail until January 7. Sutherland will then serve the remainder of his time over the summer. The split sentence allows the 40-year-old actor to avoid missing any production days on hi Fox show, 24.

Sutherland will not be allowed to drive until at least May 8, 2008.
