LOS ANGELES - Kiefer Sutherland was arrested early this morning after allegedly 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 suspicion 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.

3. In California, you aren't immediately charged...

They wait a few weeks to review the charges then a prosecutor levies them if he feels there's evidence to convict.

2. At least he didn't freak out and start calling for the destruction of Israel...

But that would have been funny.

6. After suffering through "I Trust You to Kill Me"

I think the suspicion might be well-founded. I highly doubt he was on some top secret mission to prevent global thermo-nuklee-ear war and somehow got drug by an enemy agent pretending to be his brother.
