After 48 days behind bars, Kiefer Sutherland was released from incarceration Monday morning at a Glendale, Calif. jail.
The actor left at 12:05 a.m., according to jail spokesman John Balian.
“[Kiefer] looked like he was glad to be out,” said Balian, who added that the actor was wearing a shirt and jeans when he left, and took home whatever personal belongings he originally brought with him.
Sutherland, 41, served his entire sentence for a second DUI conviction and for violating probation. He spent his birthday, Christmas and New Year’s at the Los Angeles-area facility.
“Throughout his stay, he never griped, never complained,” Balian previously said. “He never wanted preferential treatment from the get go, and we respect him for that.”
Sutherland was housed alone in an 8 by 10 foot cell, but was not confined to it, having access to a larger day room with a TV.
The actor was only visited by his attorney. The 24 star did not include any family or friends on his visitor request list. (His doctor was the only other approved visitor).
Sutherland kept largely to himself, having scant contact with other inmates, Balian said.
The actor was also sentenced to five years probation, and must complete an 18-month alcohol education program and attend weekly therapy sessions for six months.
Britney Spears’s photographer boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, was surprised to learn of rumors that the pop star has requested a restraining order against him.
“All I can say is that I have not been in contact with Britney since early Friday morning,” Ghalib says in a message posted on the Web site of his employer, FinalPixx. “The reason being, that I have has to attend a family funeral in Santa Barbara. My phone has been off during this time out of respect for my family. I am only now becoming aware of what is being said. I hope to be back home in Los Angeles soon and to be in contact with Miss Spears.”
The news of a the supposed restraining order came from two paparazzi who were invited into Spears’s home at approximately 2 a.m. Sunday, and spent several hours with the singer and her longtime friend Sam Lutfi.
According to one of the photographers, Lutfi said that they’d filed a request for a restraining order against Ghalib because they want him “out of Britney’s life.”
“Britney asked us to leave the cameras in the car, and? she poured some champagne for us. She was very sweet,” said one of the photographers. “Sam was telling us to not worry about Adnan because they have filed a restraining order against him.”
The Los Angeles police department says they are “not aware” of any emergency protective orders issued against Ghalib. The L.A. Sheriff’s department also says no order was issued.

Jennifer Lopez celebrated her pregnancy with a baby shower Saturday on the rooftop of the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City.
The singer and her husband Marc Anthony both attended the afternoon shower, which was hosted by Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas, Lopez’s producer on the 2002 film Maid in Manhattan.
Lopez, 38, “looked very pretty – and very pregnant,” according to an eyewitness, who saw the couple arrive flanked by bodyguards.
Among the guests were actress Leah Remini and designer Roberto Cavalli, who gifted Lopez with a pink leopard crib, according to a source. As for the décor, everything at the shower was blue and pink – and the room was covered with Swarovski crystal, said the source.
Last month the singer, who is due in a few weeks, was given matching pink and blue Tuni & G onesies from her sister Lynda Lopez. The pop star has been mum about whether she’s expecting twins, though multiple sources have said she’s having two bundles of joy.
The singer first announced she would be starting a family with her husband of three years, Marc Anthony, 39, last November after months of speculation.
“This is a special time in our lives,” Lopez told an audience during a concert in Miami, the final stop on the couple’s El Cantante tour.
Even as her baby bump grew increasingly noticeable with each performance, Lopez had avoided discussing her impending motherhood.
“We’re just getting used to the fact that we’ve told everybody” Lopez tells Harper’s Bazaar for its February issue.
When asked how long she is planning to take off from her career as a singer, actress and designer, Lopez says, “I don’t know – and I like that.”
