Arrest clouds '24' future

September 26, 2007 Kiefer Sutherland's Tuesday morning arrest is not expected to affect production on his Fox drama series "24" for now, but the show faces an uncertain future as the actor's arrest violates a five-year probation, something that might send him to jail for up to a year. The show's Emmy-winning star and executive producer was arrested early Tuesday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol after having attended a Fox party kicking off the network's fall season. Sutherland, who was on probation from a similar 2004 conviction, was stopped by police just after 1 a.m. after making an illegal U-turn in West Hollywood just a few blocks from Area, authorities said.
