Kiefer Sutherland was arrested early Monday morning for allegedly assaulting his ride-share driver in Hollywood.

Police responded to the call around 12:15 a.m.  Kiefer allegedly entered the vehicle, physically assaulted the driver, then made criminal threats toward them.  The driver didn’t suffer any injuries that required medical attention.

Kiefer was booked around 4:00 a.m. on an unspecified felony charge, according to Los Angeles County jail records.  He was released on $50,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on February 2nd.

None of this should be much of a surprise, though.  He may be 59 and relatively tame, but back in the day, he raised his share of Hell.  And don’t forget . . . he used to be a PIRATE.  (???)

(Back in 2005, he body-slammed a Christmas tree in a London hotel lobby, after being told he was a pirate.  Here’s a refresher.)
