Kiefer Sutherland Busted for DUI in Hollywood


Kiefer Sutherland was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence early Tuesday morning in Hollywood, Los Angeles police department officials confirm.

Around 1 a.m., Sutherland, 40, made an illegal U-turn. Officers pulled him over, and the 24 actor subsequently failed a field sobriety test.

He was booked at the LAPD Hollywood station and was released at 5:42 a.m. on $25,000 bail.

A court date of Oct. 16 was set.

A rep for Sutherland said Tuesday: "It would be premature to comment at this time."

Because the actor was previously convicted of DUI in 2004, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of four days in jail if convicted for this latest arrest.

Before being stopped by police, Sutherland attended the FOX Fall Eco-Casino party at Area nightclub where he was photographed on the red carpet. At the event, he was also spotted signing autographs for young fans.
