Actor Kiefer Sutherland is facing fresh legal trouble after being arrested in Los Angeles on January 12 over an alleged assault involving a ride-share driver. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, officers responded to a call shortly after midnight in the Hollywood area, where Sutherland was identified as the suspect accused of attacking the driver after entering the vehicle. No injuries requiring medical attention were reported at the scene.
Police said the 59-year-old actor was taken into custody on suspicion of felony criminal threats and later booked at 4:23 a.m. Arrest records show that Sutherland was released more than six hours later on a $50,000 bond, with an initial court appearance scheduled for February 2. Authorities and the actor’s representatives have yet to issue an official statement regarding the incident.
The arrest comes just months after Sutherland made his holiday movie debut in Tinsel Town alongside Rebel Wilson, a role he described as a heartfelt departure despite admitting it was not where he envisioned his career heading.
