Kiefer Sutherland arrested for alleged assault
Kiefer Sutherland was arrested in Los Angeles following an alleged altercation with a rideshare driver.
The LAPD confirmed to Page Six on Tuesday that officers responded to a call early Monday regarding an alleged assault involving a rideshare driver near Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Hollywood.
LAPD, who later identified the suspect as Sutherland, alleges the actor “entered a rideshare vehicle, physically assaulted the driver (the victim), and made criminal threats toward the victim.”
Officers arrested Sutherland for criminal threats.
LAPD noted the alleged victim did not sustain any injuries requiring medical treatment at the scene.
Documents obtained by Page Six on Tuesday confirmed that the “24” actor was arrested and booked on Monday with a bail amount set at $50,000.
He was released at 11:30 PM local time the same day, and the Emmy Award winning actor set to appear in court on Feb. 2.
NBC 4 News in Los Angeles was the first to report the news on Tuesday.
A rep for the actor did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
This isn’t the “Lost Boys” actor’s first brush with the law — Sutherland was previously charged with drunk driving in Los Angeles in September 2007 after failing a field sobriety test.
He was released on $25,000 bail at the time, and the actor pleaded no contest to a DUI charged and was sentenced to 48 days in jail, according to People.
