Driving Under the Influence does not discriminate, ask Kiefer Sutherland

At around 1:10 A.M. the mega star of the exciting Fox television series, 24 (which comes back to television January of '08) Keifer Sutherland was pulled over by West Los Angeles authorities after he was spotted making an illegal Uey (U-turn dang it!).

Office Kevin Maiberger reported that the 40 year old actor's alcohol limit was over the state's legal blood alcohol limit of .08 percent. So the story goes he got sent to the slammer, was sentenced with a misdemeanor, and got out on bail a few hours later at about 4:00 a.m. on a $25,000 bail. His court date is October 16th.

It seems this is something that a few actors or celebs have been caught up in lately. Probably more than this but most haven't been caught because no one is learning from their neighbor's example of public humiliation that it can happen to them too or that one drink too many, even if you feel fine is still one drink to many when it comes to the laws and driving. Yes people (celebrities and non celebrities alike) go to events, they drink and then they drive because they don't have another person they came with that can act as a designated driver. This DUI issue is not something that is only common to the rich and famous...it's something that happens all over America. So I'm not picking on Hollywood it's just that those are the ones that we find out about hours after it happens. It's a shame for these drivers though because it seems like such a costly mistake. I hope no one gets hurt from one of these DUI incidents.

  1. I mean damn, Mr. Sullivan did you miss the memo on Star's getting busted! It is like world news. You would think he would have got the memo. Oh well, boys in blue keep making a statement with looking up these drunks and druggies in hollywood!
