HOLLYWOOD - Actor Kiefer Sutherland has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of driving under the influence after being arrested on Tuesday.

The 24 star also stands accused of violating the terms of his probation relating to a previous DUI conviction in December 2004.

Sutherland faces up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted, and an additional six months’ jail time if found guilty of violating his probation.

The 40-year-old was pulled over by police in the early hours of Tuesday morning after making an illegal U-turn. A breath test found him to have twice the legal limit of alcohol in his system, according to reports.

Sutherland's arraignment hearing is set for Oct. 16.
