Threat of Murder and Arrest: New Legal Troubles for Kiefer Sutherland 0 9

Last Monday, an unpleasant incident occurred in Los Angeles involving the famous actor. According to reporters from the Daily Mail, Kiefer Sutherland, while in a state of heavy intoxication, got into a conflict with a taxi driver. According to the police, the verbal altercation escalated into direct threats of violence. The actor was charged with a felony — intimidation and making death threats.

Officers who arrived at the scene detained the 59-year-old Sutherland and took him to the police station. Despite the passenger's aggressive behavior, the taxi driver was not physically harmed and declined medical assistance. Detectives have already begun an official investigation into the circumstances of the attack.

The star of the film "Taking Lives" was released from custody at 11:30 a.m. on a $50,000 bail. Now Kiefer faces court. The first hearing in this case is scheduled for February 2.

It is noted that legal troubles due to alcohol have been following the actor for a long time. In 2004, he was first caught for drunk driving. Three years later, the situation repeated itself — in September 2007, Kiefer Sutherland was arrested again and subsequently released on bail.
