Law enforcement has been buzzing that they may arrest Kiefer Sutherland when he turns himself in ... rather than just give him a desk appearance ticket with a promise to appear in court later -- well we've learned there's just no way he'll get arrested.
Why, you ask? Law enforcement told us generally they do not give desk appearance tickets to non-residents. But we did some checking and know -- for sure -- Kiefer is a resident of NYC. He has two residences in the city. As for his home in L.A., he's selling it.
So no doubt Kiefer won't be taken into custody when he turns himself in today. He'll get a ticket and will get a date to appear in court for his arraignment on the assault charge.

It is not like Kiefer Sutherland should be excused for his drinking, but how come Mr. what'shisname is not taking any responsibility in this altercation? He at least was supposedly sober at the time and in his business Kiefer can't be the first alcholic he has encountered. Sober people don't push on a drunk, we avoid issues with them. I
I have no respect for Kiefer's continued drinking but I do have respect for his work ethics. A lot of people depend on his talents to make a living. How many look to Mr. what'shisname for their livelyhood. Kiefer is an honorable man and will take responsibility for his actions. HOWEVER it takes two to make trouble, I hold mr.what'shisname responsible also. I also have no respect for him as a man. This is so sad that two men can't settle this between themselves and have to take up court time (out of our taxes) to bring any justice to this. I hope justice can be served by apologies and monetary compensation for harm done so that everyone can get back to being part of the solution and not the problem.
Harsh words were used by Mr. what'shisname...he sounds pathetic.

Surprised it's even gone to the point of being a fine. What an utter waste of court time. This was nothing.
Seriously...men fight, that's what they do. Back in the old days, if there was a fight, no one called the cops. You would get up dust yourself off and go your own way. It's getting to a point that if you even look at someone funny, they want to sue your ass.
People need to learn to "Get over it"

Did you really think they would arrest him. If you said Yes you've got to be kidding.
