LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
Kiefer Sutherland was arrested early Tuesday on misdemeanor drunk driving charges after failing a field sobriety test, police officials said.
The actor was pulled over at about 1:10 a.m. in West Los Angeles after officers spotted him making an illegal U-turn, said Officer Kevin Maiberger.
Sutherland, 40, tested over the state’s legal blood alcohol limit of .08 percent, and was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence, Officer Karen Smith said.
He was released around 4 a.m. after posting $25,000 bail, according to Sheriff’s Department records.
When contacted by Access Hollywood, a rep for Kiefer said, “It would be premature to comment at this time.”
Maiberger said Sutherland was scheduled to appear in court Oct. 16.
Sutherland won a best actor Emmy award last year for his performance on the Fox TV series “24.” The series is set to return to the air in January.
