LOS ANGELES — Kiefer Sutherland was released from jail early Monday after serving 48 days on a drunken driving charge, police said.
The actor was ushered out a back door and into a waiting car at 12:05 a.m. to avoid the media near the Glendale jail’s main entrance, officer John Balian said.
Sutherland spent most of his sentence by himself, interacting with fellow prisoners only when he was on the way to the laundry room where he worked, Balian said.
The star of Fox television’s “24” also had a cell to himself and ate alone, he said.
Officials rejected several requests from strangers who asked to visit Sutherland during his sentence.
“A lot of people came in to see him off the street: nutritionists, psychics, just random people who thought they could walk up and see him,” Balian said. “That just wasn’t going to happen.”
Prisoners are only allowed to receive visitors already named on a list, he said.
