Actor Kiefer Sutherland is a free man once again after being released from a Glendale jail this morning.  Sutherland served 48 days, his full sentence, after receiving his second DUI and violating his probation.

“[Kiefer] looked like he was glad to be out,” said Balian, who added that the actor was wearing a shirt and jeans when he left, and took home whatever personal belongings he originally brought with him.

Sutherland, 41, served his entire sentence for a second DUI conviction and for violating probation. He spent his birthday, Christmas and New Year’s at the Los Angeles-area facility.

Kiefer was smart to serve during the writer’s strike and get it over with.  The new season of 24 has been pushed back because of the strike.

Jack Bauer…I mean Kiefer Sutherland was at the 64th Golden Globe Awards last night. Did anyone see the 24 season premiere? What did you think about that? Pretty crazy and mind blowing.  List of all the GG winners.
