Kiefer Sutherland was charged with assault over the headbutt incident last weekend. There’s a big oops on Kiefer’s part! What makes it even more confusing is that the details over why and how it happened still aren’t being released.

This arrest is from the headbutt over the weekend at the MET 2009 Costume Gala. The only details released are that Kiefer headbutted a designer and it was supposedly over Brooke Shields. From The Telegraph:

A spokeswoman for New York Police Department said that Sutherland was subsequently charged with misdemeanour assault.

The 42-year-old actor is currently on probation over a drink drive conviction in California.

Frank Mateljan, a spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney, said prosecutors were checking with New York investigators to see if the latest incident puts him in violation of his probation.

Kiefer and the 24 crew wouldn’t be happy if his parole is violated. That would mean another stint in jail and filming for his series 24 would have to halt again. Should Kiefer be given a free pass here?
