Kiefer Sutherland was arrested early Monday morning following an altercation with a ride-share driver in Hollywood, according to booking documents obtained by TheWrap.
No one was injured in the incident. The “24” star was booked on suspicion of making felony criminal threats and released after posting $50,000 bail.
Police responded to a call about an assault involving a ride-share driver near Sunset Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue, according to jail records. The 59-year-old was identified as the suspect and arrested just after midnight.
Jail records show Sutherland was released around 11:30 a.m. Monday. A court date was set for Feb. 2.
Sutherland, who played counterterrorism agent Jack Bauer on “24,” won an Emmy and Golden Globe for his role on the long-running Fox action-thriller. He also appeared in the films “The Lost Boys,” “A Few Good Men,” and “Stand by Me.”
Sutherland has been arrested multiple times over his career, with incidents largely concentrated in the late 1980s through the 2000s and primarily involving alcohol. He was arrested for several DUIs, serving a brief jail sentence in 2007 after a probation violation.
He was also arrested in 2009 in New York for assault after a nightclub altercation, though that case was dismissed.
