Actor Kiefer Sutherland, who pleaded no contest nearly two months ago to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge, was sentenced Wednesday to 48 days in the Glendale city jail.The 40-year-old Emmy Award-winning star of the Fox show "24" -- who was at the Metropolitan Branch Courthouse in Los Angeles 16 days before his scheduled sentencing -- was ordered to complete the jail term by March 30, according to Nick Velasquez of the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office.

Sutherland is expected to serve the entire 48 days behind bars, according to 
Velasquez.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Stuart Rice also ordered Sutherland to 
spend five years on probation, complete an 18-month alcohol program and six 
months of weekly therapy sessions and pay a $510 fine.

Sutherland was charged Sept. 28 in connection with his arrest at the 
scene of a traffic stop shortly after 1 a.m. Sept. 25 at La Cienega and Beverly 
boulevards.

He pleaded no contest Oct. 9 through defense attorney Blair Berk to 
driving with a blood-alcohol content of .08 percent or above.

Thirty days of Sutherland's jail term stem from the new case, while the 
remaining 18 involve a probation violation from a 2004 DUI case, according to 
Velasquez.

The Los Angeles-born star was sentenced in 2004 to five years probation, 
50 hours of community service and ordered to complete an alcohol program in 
connection with a prior DUI arrest.

Sutherland is the son of actor Donald Sutherland, star of the new ABC 
series "Dirty Sexy Money," and singer Shirley Douglas.
