Kiefer Sutherland Cleared

Jack Bauer has wriggled out of another one. The New York Daily News reports that misdemeanor assault charges against 24 star Kiefer Sutherland have been dropped. In May, Sutherland allegedly head-butted fashion designer Jack McCollough at a party, breaking the Proenza Schouler label designer's nose. Evidently, Sutherland got angry after McCollough bumped into actress Brooke Shields but failed to apologize. Sutherland delivered a mea culpa on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and reached a settlement with McCollough. A spokesperson for the district attorney said the department dropped the prosecution because McCollough was "uncooperative."
