Thursday, January 15, 2026 - British-Canadian actor Kiefer Sutherland has been arrested after allegedly ass@ulting a ride-share driver in Hollywood.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) said Sutherland
“entered a ride-share vehicle, physically assaulted the driver (the victim),
and made criminal threats” in the early hours of Monday morning (January 12).
The statement added that the victim was not injured following the incident.
BBC News has reported that the 24 star
was released after paying a bond of $50,000 (£37,000), and is due to appear in
court on February 2.
Kiefer Sutherland was previously arrested in September 2007
on drunk driving charges, following a failed field sobriety test. He pleaded no
contest to a DUI charge and was sentenced to 48 days in jail.
The actor spoke about the incident in an interview
with NME in 2022.
“This isn’t like prison, this is kind of a warehouse,” he
said at the time. “In a way, prison is a refined experience compared to county
jail.”
After breaking through as a film actor in movies such
as The Lost Boys, Young Guns, and Flatliners,
Sutherland found renewed fame on television in the early ’00s in the action
series 24, winning an Emmy and Golden Globe for his portrayal of
Jack Bauer in the hit show. The series would last from 2001-10, as well as
being revived in 2014. He also starred in the political thriller Designated
Survivor, which ran from 2016-19.
