It's a good thing Kiefer Sutherland made that deal with Jack McCollough when he did.
Not only was the actor risking jail time for his headbutting incident, but he almost lost his role in Joel Schumacher's new film, Twelve, due to all of the negative publicity.
Kiefer Sutherland has designed himself a pretty sweet deal.
The charges related to the headbutting incident at the Costume Insitute Gala at the Met earlier this month between Sutherland and Proenza Schouler designer Jack McCollough are likely to be dropped.
The actor and designer have reached a deal and McCollough will no longer serve as a witness in the case.
Kiefer Sutherland, star of Fox's 24, turned himself into police at New York City’s First Precinct around 4pm yesterday.
He was arrested on the third-degree assault charge, photographed and fingerprinted, and walked out of the precinct at about 6pm accompanied by his Los Angeles lawyer, Blair Berk.
All this stems from an incident over the weekend where Kiefer allegedly headbutted fashion designer Jack McCullough without cause.
Drama!
At the Met’s Costume Institute Gala afterparty this weekend, things got out of control.
There are conflicting reports on how or why it happened, but here’s how the story ended: Kiefer Sutherland flew into Jack Bauer-mode and head butted Jack McCollough, the co-founder of fashion line Proenza Schouler.
