Kiefer Sutherland Arrested for DUI

Kiefer Sutherland was arrested early Tuesday on misdemeanor drunk driving charges after failing a field sobriety test, police officials said. Sutherland was pulled over at about 1:10 a.m. in West Los Angeles, California after officers spotted him making an illegal U-turn, said Officer Kevin Maiberger.

The star of Fox’s hit 24 TV show, 40, tested more than twice the state’s legal blood alcohol limit of .08 percent, and was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence, Officer Karen Smith said.

He was released around 4 a.m. after posting $25,000 bail, according to Sheriff’s Department records. Maiberger said Sutherland was scheduled to appear in court Oct. 16.
