Kiefer Sutherland, the 59-year-old star of '24' and 'Designated Survivor,' was arrested early Monday morning in Hollywood following an alleged altercation with a rideshare driver. The LAPD confirmed he was booked on suspicion of felony criminal threats but released on $50,000 bond. No injuries were reported from the incident.
Oh honey, spill the tea on this one! Kiefer Sutherland, our forever Jack Bauer, found himself in handcuffs—again—after a messy run-in with a rideshare driver. According to the LAPD, officers responded to a radio call about an alleged assault just after midnight on early Monday, January 12, near the Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue intersection in Hollywood. ABC reports that “Sutherland allegedly assaulted the driver after entering the vehicle.”
TMZ confirmed the drama, noting Kiefer was busted on suspicion of felony criminal threats. Thankfully, no one needed medical treatment—phew! He was released from custody later that Monday after posting a cool $50,000 bond. Court date? Locked in for February 2 at Los Angeles County Superior Court. We reached out to his reps... crickets so far. 😶
This isn't Kiefer's first brush with the law, darlings. Back in 2007, he did 48 days in jail after a DUI arrest. The Emmy and Golden Globe winner, known for slaying in '24,' 'Designated Survivor,' 'Phone Booth,' 'Mirrors,' and 'Melancholia,' has always kept it real—sometimes too real. NBC Los Angeles broke the story first, with Page Six and others piling on the buzz.
Is this just a bad night out, or is Jack Bauer off the clock for good? Stay tuned, because Hollywood never sleeps on a scandal like this. 🔥
