Kiefer's Sutherland's character on "24," Jack Bauer, would have seen this scam coming a mile a way - but the actor sure didn't.
He was among several cattle customers roped into an alleged scam that netted more than $1 million.
Prosecutors say Michael Carr of Linden, Calif., 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 hit Fox TV show, 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. He will be arraigned Feb. 8.
