I just read that Kiefer Sutherland was arrested on DUI charges at about 1:10 a.m. today. There weren’t many details released about the arrest in the AP blurb, so I went to TMZ.com figuring they would have more answers.
Sure enough, the TMZ post was a lot more specific. TMZ’s “sources” said Kiefer was pulled over at the corner of La Cienega and Beverly at 1:35 a.m. for an illegal U-turn, failed a field sobriety test after allegedly blowing twice the legal limit of .08, was booked at 4:09 a.m. and was released on $25,000 bail at 5:42 a.m. Wow, they have good sources inside the LAPD, don’t they!!
Anyway, after the post there was rampant speculation about what Kiefer’s punishment might be, since this isn’t the first time he’s been busted for DUI. There’s talk that a bit of jail time could be involved.
I’ve been reading about Kiefer’s alcohol problems for years. Remember that YouTube video of him attacking a Christmas tree in a hotel lobby?! I think it’s time for someone to step in and get this guy some help.
