Keifer Sutherland jailed for drunk driving

Keifer Sutherland is no stranger to a spot of reckless driving. But yesterday it proved his real life downfall as he was jailed for 48 days after pleading guilty to his second drink-driving offence in three years.

The actor reported immediately to Glendale city jail in Los Angeles after being ordered to serve his sentence in full before March 30. Though he could have waited until as late as February 12, he made the decision to surrender to custody immediately, his attorney, Blair Berk, said.
