Kiefer Sutherland, known for the show “24”, was arrested Monday morning for reportedly threatening and hitting a rideshare driver.
Kiefer Sutherland became well-known in the 1980s for starring in popular films like Stand By Me, The Lost Boys, and Young Guns. He continued to appear in successful movies throughout the 1990s, including Flatliners, A Few Good Men, and A Time to Kill.
He became a television star in the 2000s with the hugely popular series 24, which is now being made into a film. More recently, he played a leading role in the Netflix thriller, Designated Survivor.
However, this week Sutherland is in the news for personal issues that will require him to appear in court next month.
Kiefer Sutherland arrested for alleged assault
Early Monday morning (January 12th), 59-year-old Kiefer Sutherland was arrested in Hollywood, Los Angeles, following a dispute with a rideshare driver.
Around 12:15 AM, Los Angeles police received a call about an assault that happened to a rideshare driver near Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue, according to Deadline.
According to the LAPD, the suspect, later identified as Sutherland, got into the car and attacked the driver. A BBC report also stated that Sutherland made criminal threats.
According to the LAPD, the victim was not injured in the incident.
The actor was arrested for allegedly making criminal threats and was released on $50,000 bail. He is scheduled to appear in court on February 2, 2026.
I’ve been keeping up with what Donald Sutherland’s been up to! I recently watched him in that fun Christmas movie, Tinsel Town. Right now, he’s actually filming a crime thriller called Father Joe with Al Pacino, which is awesome. And after that, he’s going to be in an action flick called Sierra Madre – sounds like he’s been busy!
