Police Investigating Kiefer Sutherland Head-Butting

NEW YORK — New York City police on Wednesday were investigating a fashion designer's claim that actor Kiefer Sutherland head-butted him at a Manhattan nightclub.

Jack McCollough, of the Proenza Schouler fashion house, said the incident happened around 2 a.m. Tuesday, reportedly at the club SubMercer in SoHo, and claimed he was cut on his face.

McCollough claimed Sutherland, star of Fox television's "24," attacked him after an argument, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

The official said detectives plan to question Sutherland before the end of this week and might question actress Brooke Shields as a witness.

Nobody has been arrested.

Calls to representatives for Sutherland, McCollough and Shields weren't immediately returned.

Sutherland was released from a Glendale, Calif., jail last year after serving 48 days on a drunken driving charge. He had pleaded no contest to driving with a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit of 0.08 percent. He was sentenced to 30 days, as well as 18 days for violating probation in a 2004 drunken driving arrest.

If his father were not Donald Sutherland, I seriously doubt anyone would know who Kiefer Sutherland is.

He's merely another boring violent drunk.

Off to jail for a long time (but probably not).

I do believe that dear Kiefer has lost his "mind".

[Faxus]

The booze is wrecking him.

Paging Dr Drew!!

Somebody call Sherry Palmer to sober up his sorry a$$!! LOL

[peskime]

Rehab, anyone?

Kurt Vonnegut: You are what you pretend to be. Sutherland seems to have confused himself with his character. But, he's actually just a child of privilege whose emotional maturity is clearly stunted from too star treatment.

He is a serial self-sabotager....he was engaged to Julia Roberts, until he took a stripper and her kid to Disneyland...like, you know, nobody at Disneyland has a camera, he's not going to get caught...

Sheesh~

Karma for him winning a best-actor Emmy.

[Anonani]

Was he drunk?

[CessnaDriver]

Kieffer? When is he not?

[RoadCrossingChicken]

O.o

Funny!

I sure hope they've finished filming 24 for the season, because I suspect Keifer's gonna be doin' some time.

I wonder why this Canadian has not been deported from the US for his multiple criminal offenses. The law even says you can be deported for being a habitual drunk. I guess all those jail stints for DUIs Keifer failed to come up in the system as eligible for being deported. I wonder why so many other "regular" folks are.

Oh, well, I am thrilled we get to keep this immigrant repeat offender in USA.

[hegdehog]

Why are you so obsessed with where he was born? You got something against immigrants? Perhaps your ancestors were Native American. Immigrants are the backbone of this nation. It's why we're great. Why do you care?

Sutherland has lived in states for years not that it matters.

This isnt a pol ,it is just one alcoholics way of acting out..

[lovsn12b]

poor Kiefer - still an alcoholic - remember him tackling the Christmas Tree in Europe? Sad.

[NYCMami]

is that on youtube?

Drunk violent punk.

[YellowPanties]

Good job, Kiefer, knock 'em out!
