Kiefer Sutherland surrendered to authorities this afternoon in New York and was charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly headbutting designer Jack McCollough Monday night.
After he was photographed and fingerprinted, Sutherland walked out of the precinct at about 6 p.m.
Sutherland is expected within a month to appear before a judge … (he faces) a fine up to $1,000 and up to a year in jail.
Los Angeles authorities said they intend to investigate whether Sutherland violated probation for his second DUI conviction in 2007 for which he served seven weeks in jail. If so, he could face additional jail time.
Oh yeah I bet Kiefer is waking up at night covered in sweat worried about how law enforcement in LA might react. They’re one tough customer. Lindsay served 84 minutes in jail for 2 DUIs, 2 counts of possession of cocaine, transporting a narcotic into a custodial facility, driving on a suspended license, drinking underage and fleeing the scene of an accident. For Celebrity Parole Violation, at worst they’ll make Kiefer take a bite from a really spicy pepper.

I have a hard time accepting that a quarter-inch cut (this) after a slight altercation requires police action, but apparently it does, because - according to a story broken by the Daily News - Kiefer Sutherland will surrender to prosecutors, maybe as early as today, to face a minor assault charge for head-butting designer Jack McCollough Monday night in New York City.
Sutherland will be charged with third-degree assault (and) issued a desk appearance ticket for the misdemeanor - meaning he won’t be jailed and will be free to travel before he’s arraigned.
A friend (says) Sutherland felt bad about the bizarre display.
“Kiefer is sorry it happened. Absolutely. It’s terribly regrettable,” the friend said.
Still, they insisted Sutherland lashed out because McCollough bumped into actress Brooke Shields and didn’t apologize.
Sutherland’s lawyers are expected to work out a cash settlement with McCollough.
Jesus Christ, really? How about instead of Kiefer surrendering to the police, McCollough surrender to a karate class and learn how to fight. Kiefer barely touched him. I’ve done worse things than this to people I like. If a quarter inch cut = third degree assault, I don’t even wanna know what staple-gunning a dudes nuts would be considered. Treason?
Designer Jack McCollough - of course the guy who got headbutted by Kiefer Sutherland Monday night - was on the street today with a very obvious cut on the bridge of his nose (close-up here). It’s hard to see what the big deal is. The cut is maybe half an inch long. He’s a handsome young New York City designer, I’m willing to bet this is hardly the biggest gash left behind after some guy rammed something into him.

Last night Guest of a Guest broke the story that Kiefer Sutherland headbutted fashion designer Jack McCollough in the face Monday night, and now sources close to Sutherland have confirmed the story to TMZ.
We’re told witnesses say the alleged victim — Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough — allegedly knocked Brooke Shields over and Kiefer saw it happen. The witnesses say Kiefer went over to the man and told him to apologize to her. At that point they say McCollough pushed Kiefer and the actor responded with a headbutt.
And yet somehow Brooke Shields’ version of the events is the 100 percent opposite of that.
But Brooke’s rep says “nothing happened to her,” adding “Jack did nothing inappropriate. It’s not clear what caused Kiefer to do what he did” … Jack, who designs clothes for Brooke, “did absolutely nothing to her.”
But here’s where the plot thickens. We asked the rep, “Did Jack touch her?” Their response — “We don’t know.”
There has to be some way to figure out who is telling the truth. Maybe Keifer could go on trial and when the lawyers ask him questions he could say, “One second please.” And then he could take a marker and write something on a piece of paper. But then he holds it up and the paper is blank. The jurors will be like, “that’s highly unusual, I thought he was writing something.” But then he asks the judge to roll up her sleeve, and on her forearm it says, “INNOCENT.” “Holy Moly!” the jurors will say. And this McCollough guy will get all nervous and confess that he was lying the whole time. That would be a good trial.
There’s not a single thing about this that makes an ounce of sense, but did Kiefer Sutherland bail on his superhot girlfriend to go knock out some gay designer I’ve never heard of over Brooke Shields? Yeah sure, why not.
Last night, the biggest event of the NYC social calendar, the MET Ball (was held) but the REAL talk of the town belongs to a certain fight that broke out at SubMercer. Apparently that’s where Kiefer Sutherland HEAD BUTTED Jack McCollough so hard that he BROKE the designer’s nose … the actor apparently was upset over Brooke Shields.
This sounds like the kind of thing Kiefer would do if he was drunk, but how are we supposed to know if he was drunk. Granted his eyes are pretty red in that top picture. Maybe he had been crying.
