Kiefer Sutherland was arrested Monday morning following an alleged ride-share altercation with a driver, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

NBC4 reported the news that officers responded to a radio call involving Sutherland and a ride-share driver in the Hollywood area and that the 59-year-old actor is being accused of assaulting the driver after entering the vehicle. According to the LAPD, he was arrested on suspicion of felony criminal threats, and records indicated he was released from custody on $50,000 bond with an initial court date scheduled for Feb. 2.

A representative for Sutherland did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sutherland was previously charged with drunk driving in 2007, his fourth DUI since 1989, and later pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 48 days in jail.

In 2009, he once again ran into legal issues for allegedly head-butting fashion designer Jack McCollough in New York. Sutherland and McCollough issued a joint statement after the incident. “I am sorry about what happened that night and sincerely regret that Mr. McCollough was injured,” Sutherland wrote in the statement.

The actor and musician is widely known for his portrayal of Jack Bauer in 24, winning a Primetime Emmy and a Golden Globe award for his starring role in the Fox series. He would later play POTUS on ABC’s Designated Survivor and make his debut as a country singer-songwriter in 2016.
