Kiefer Sutherland, star of the TV drama 24
Kiefer Sutherland, star of the TV drama 24, celebrated his release from jail with a 24-hour bender.
The actor was released at midnight Los Angeles time – 8am UK time yesterday – then headed straight home for a marathon drinking session with friends.
The party at his Los Angeles home was due to wind up this morning, copying the idea of Sutherland’s hit TV drama in which the events of a whole series take place over one 24-hour period.
Sutherland, son of the Seventies movie star Donald, was released after 48 days of ‘exemplary behaviour’ during his sentence for drink-driving.
He spent his time in prison cleaning sheets, pillowcases and blankets on laundry duty, said police officer John Balian.
The officer added: “He was very humble, never complained. He didn’t give us any problems.”
Sutherland, who spent both Christmas and his 41st birthday behind bars, was arrested on September 25 after making an illegal U-turn in Hollywood and failing a breath test.
