“Kiefer told police he was having dinner with a friend Sunday night. Late in the evening, he called for an Uber Black, the driver arrived, Kiefer jumped in and they were on their way to Kiefer’s home. For some reason, during the drive, Kiefer told the driver to pull over and let him out.”
“Kiefer told cops the driver refused, and Kiefer twice more asked the driver to pull over, to no avail. At some point, according to the Uber driver, Kiefer threatened to kill him if he didn’t pull over. The driver, who called 911, claims Kiefer assaulted the driver with his hands.” [via TMZ]
Sutherland’s most recent prominent role was in Clint Eastwood’s Juror #2, which released in late 2024. Last year, he starred in the films Stone Cold Fox and Tinsel Town.
Sutherland — who previously went to jail in 2007 after pleading no contest to a DUI charge — is scheduled to make his first court appearance on Monday, February 2.
At the time of this writing, neither Sutherland nor his legal team have issued a public statement on his arrest.
