Chris Klein Apologizes Then Sentenced To Jail

Chris Klein, the heartthrob actor (and ex-boyfriend of Katie Holmes), was just sentenced to a 96 hour jail sentence. That’s roughly 4 days. He pled no contest to the charge of Driving Under the Influence (DUI).

Klein apologized profusely before being sentenced. This was his second offense.

Chris was caught driving in L.A., 3:00 in the morning, while drunk off his bum. His blood alcohol level was .24, which is about three times over California’s legal limit.

The desperate apology may not have had any effect on the sentencing but the fact that the actor checked into rehab might have. Klein could have been sentenced to one year.

Instead, he received the aforementioned 96 hours plus four years probation. He also has to have an alcohol interlock device placed on his car, which requires him to be sober before it will start. Alcohol education courses were also a part of the sentencing.
