Just a few hours after his arrest, the actor was released on a $50,000 bail (approximately €43,000). Sutherland is expected to appear in court early in February. A statement from the actor regarding the allegations has not yet been made.
The actor is no stranger to the authorities. He has repeatedly come into conflict with the law due to alcohol consumption in the past. In 2007, he was convicted of drunk driving in Los Angeles and spent 48 days in jail.
Kiefer Sutherland is the son of the late Hollywood star Donald Sutherland and became world-famous through films such as "Flatliners" and the hit series 24. In addition to acting, he is also active as a musician. This current incident casts a shadow once again on his career.
