Jack Bauer Charged With DUI, May Face Jail Time

It seems that Jack Bauer, one of the toughest guys out there, we're talking borderline Chuck Norris status, has one form of real-life kryptonite: drinking and driving. TMZ Says:

""24" star Kiefer Sutherland was busted on suspicion of DUI in West Hollywood last night, after allegedly blowing more than twice the legal limit of .08. This is the actor's second DUI in the past five years -- he was arrested in 2004. By California law, if he's convicted, he must serve a mandatory minimum of five days in jail."

Five days? Well, TMZ originally forgot to mention that the whole second DUI thing occurred while he was still on probation for the first DUI. So, basically, Kiefer violated his probation and this could be big problems for Jack Bauer.

TMZ says:

"In November, 2004, Kiefer was popped for driving with a .22 blood alcohol level, and plead no contest to drunk driving. He was placed on 5 years probation. That means if he's convicted on this morning's DUI, he will have violated his probation."

And, it gets worse for poor ole' Jack... TMZ says:

"Guess who the judge was in the 2004 case? That would be Judge Michael Sauer, the guy who threw the book at Paris Hilton for violating her probation. And remember, Paris was not drunk when she was driving on a suspended license -- and she was sentenced to 45 days in jail!"

Damn, that sucks. And you would think that Jack Bauer would get arrested for something cooler... like defusing a bomb on The Empire State Building and then re-wiring it with a piece of bubble gum and having it explode in the middle of an evil terrorist camp...

But nope... he may go to the slammer simply because he's a drunk.

You let me down Jack... you let me down.

You know, I didn't want to have to say this, Jack, but... uh... MacGyver would never let me down like that.

It burns, I know. Sorry, Jack, it needed to be done. Of all people, I figured you would understand.
