LOS ANGELES (AP) _ The Los Angeles city attorney's office says it has filed misdemeanor DUI charges against Kiefer Sutherland.

City attorney spokesman Nick Velasquez said the star of the TV drama ``24'' was charged Friday with one count each of driving under the influence and driving with a blood-alcohol level of .08 or above.

If convicted, he faces up to a year in jail. He is on probation for a similar 2004 conviction, which could add as much as six months to his sentence.

The 40-year-old actor was pulled over Tuesday after leaving a Hollywood party at the trendy Area nightclub.
