Kiefer Sutherland was roped into a scam and lost thousands of dollars. What is it you ask? Illegal art deal? Awesome weapons shipment? Counterfeit money ring? ... How about he tried to buy cattle and got ripped off. Man, that's so not awesome. Come on Keifer, if you're going to look like a chump, at least go down swinging.
Actor Kiefer Sutherland was among cattle customers roped into an alleged scam that netted more than a million dollars.Well Keifer, you know what they say: "To err is human, to forgive, bovine!" ... Wait, that joke wasn't funny? Who wrote this crap? Hey, you, writer! Get over here, I'm going to torture you in this dimly lit room. I don't care that you work for peanuts, this is happening now. NOW WHERE'S THE BOMB! WHERE IS IT!Prosecutors say Michael Wayne Carr of Linden had agreements to buy steers in Mexico for his customers and sell them for profit in the United States. Carr allegedly took $869,000 from Sutherland, star of the Fox TV show "24," and $177,000 from a New Mexico couple.
Prosecutors say there's no record Carr ever bought the steers. They also say Carr sold steers that didn't belong to him.
Carr is charged with 12 felonies, including grand theft, forgery and embezzlement. He was scheduled to be arraigned Monday, but a judge postponed it to Feb. 8 after his attorney was removed.
If convicted on all charges, he faces 18 years in prison.(AP)
