Kiefer Sutherland is the latest celebrity to have a run-in with the law.

Sutherland faces jail time after being charged Friday with misdemeanor DUI. The ’24′ star had a blood alcohol level of .08 or above, and he was already on probation following an arrest for drunken driving in 2004. He also was arrested in 1993 for alcohol-related reckless driving.

Los Angeles attorney spokesman Nick Velasquez said Sutherland faces between four days and a year in jail if convicted of the DUI. He may also be found guilty of violating his probation from the 2004 charge, which would tack an additional six months on to his sentence.

Britney Spears was charged with several counts on Friday stemming from her August 6 accident in a Studio City parking lot.

Paparazzi video shows Spears steering into a parked car, then examining the damage to her own car and walking away. Three days later Kim Robard-Rifkin, the owner of the other vehicle, saw the video on TMZ.com and filed a police report.

“I simply want my car fixed, the same as I would fix somebody’s car if I had done that,” Robard-Rifkin told TMZ in August...

George Clooney was treated for a broken rib and scrapes after he and a companion collided with a car on Friday afternoon. Clooney and Sarah Larson were riding a motorcycle on a narrow road along the Hudson River across from NYC.

They sped up to pass a driver on the right who was making a righthand turn, said Weehawken police Sgt. Sean Kelly. The accident is still under investigation, but Kelly said it is illegal to pass on the right in the state of New Jersey.
