How Many Times Has Kiefer Sutherland Been Arrested?

Publish date: 2022-01-30

Kiefer Sutherland's first arrest was in 1989, according to People. At that time, he was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. Reportedly, he also faced charges of carrying a concealed and loaded weapon. After pleading no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving, however, those weapons-related charges were dropped. Sutherland was back in trouble four years later, though, when the "Flatliners" star was again arrested for DUI in 1993. He pleaded the same way he did in the first case and chose to perform more than 200 hours of community service instead of spending 12 days in jail.

Between 1993 and 2004, Sutherland stayed on the right side of the law until a 2004 drunk driving arrest landed him five years probation. Three years later, in 2007, the actor was arrested again on suspicion of DUI and given a 48-day prison sentence — 30 days were for the drunk driving, and 18 were for violating the terms of his probation. He was also fined and ordered into an alcohol treatment program. Then, 13 years later, when an early morning illegal U-turn in Hollywood caught the attention of the LAPD, Sutherland failed a sobriety test and was booked in jail. He was released later that morning on $25,000 bail.
