Kiefer Sutherland is the latest celebrity to have to do time. TMZ has obtained copies of his sentencing recommendations and it looks as if he’ll have to spend 48 days in custody. 18 days are for the parole violation with another 30 for his most recent DUI charge. Sutherland must complete this sentencing before July 1, 2008. Apparently he plans to turn himself in while”24″ is on holiday hiatus in December. Reps for Fox and 20th Century Fox released the following 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.”
