The 24 star was busted early Tuesday morning for driving under the influence in West Hollywood. Sutherland, who plays counter-terrorism agent Jack Bauer, was pulled over after leaving the Fox Fall Eco-Casino party at Area nightclub.

Officer Ana Aguirre of the L.A.P.D. confirmed to CelebTV.com, “Mr. Sutherland was arrested for an illegal U-turn in a business district at La Cienega and Beverly Boulevards in our Wilshire division. It was determined that he was under the influence. After being given a field sobriety test, Mr. Sutherland was found to be over the limit.”

Sutherland was arrested on a separate DUI charge three years ago, in 2004.

According to court documents first obtained by CelebTV.com, Sutherland was also arrested in 1988 for DUI and for carrying a concealed weapon and a loaded firearm in a public place.

In 1993, the actor was slapped with another a DUI charge.

Although Sutherland has at least four DUI charges to his name, CelebTV.com legal expert Royal Oakes says the '89 and '93 charges might not hurt Sutherland in court. 

"The good news for Kiefer is that the old ones might not matter so much," says Oakes. "Mandatory jail time is for back-to-back charges. Otherwise, the system kicks in to favor alcohol treatment, not jail."

Since Sutherland's 2004 DUI arrest is fairly recent, under California law, if he's convicted, he must serve a mandatory minimum of five days in jail.

For his Sept. 24 charge, the actor was released at 5:42 AM on $25,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 16.

When asked about Sutherland's Tuesday arrest a rep for the actor, Evelyn Karamanos, tells CelebTV.com, "It would be premature to comment at this time."
