LOS ANGELES - 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.
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.

It's a stupid move for anyone who drives under the influence, not just those in the media spotlight. Celebrities are human too and make the same mistakes as anyone else. While celebrities definitely make the headlines for such incidents, they really make up a small percentage of those arrested for those charges.

He's not the only person on the planet to drink and drive. This doesn' surprise me. But I tell you... Mel Gibson, Dude from Staurday Night Live, Wynonna Judd and a few others did.

He is known in Hollywood to be a drunk. It's about time he got caught. Maybe he will learn from it.
