Police arrested actor Kiefer Sutherland on Sunday night following a dispute with an Uber driver.
The incident began after Kiefer finished dinner with a friend and called for a ride home.
During the trip, Kiefer reportedly asked the driver to pull over and let him out of the car.
According to law enforcement sources, the driver refused this request multiple times, leading to a heated confrontation.
The Uber driver claimed that Kiefer eventually threatened to kill him if he did not stop the vehicle. The driver also alleged that the actor assaulted him with his hands before calling 911.
When officers arrived at the scene, they noted a possible language barrier between the two men.
The driver, who spoke Russian or Armenian, required a translator to communicate his version of events to the Los Angeles Police Department.
While the driver did not report any physical injuries, authorities arrested Kiefer for making a criminal threat, which is a felony offense. The actor remained in custody until he posted a $50,000 bail.
Kiefer has not yet released a formal statement regarding the arrest or the specific details of what caused the disagreement during the ride.
Kiefer Sutherland is famous for his roles in major projects like 24 and Designated Survivor.
This recent legal trouble marks a significant moment for the actor, who has dealt with public incidents in the past.
Fans and legal experts are now waiting to see how the case will proceed through the court system.
For now, the investigation into the driver's claims continues as both parties prepare for potential legal action.
