Today Kiefer Sutherland's attorney declared his client was not the instigator in the headbutting incident last week. He was charged last Thursday with third-degree assault after an early morning scuffle at SubMercer, where he "attacked" a designer who may or may not have shoved Brooke Shields. (He said/she said can get confusing after 2 a.m.!) Reportedly designer, Jack McCollough claims Sutherland broke his nose, though the initial police report only noted a small gash (his reps later said it was more serious). The 24 stars attorney said, "We are troubled by the untruthful and self-serving information circulating regarding Kiefer Sutherland and events of last Monday evening. Out of respect for this law enforcement process, Kiefer Sutherland will not be making any comment.''

Following a headbutt attack Kiefer Sutherland unleashed on designer Jack McCollough earlier this week at SoHo's Submercer, it seems the actor will be paying his dues like a regular 'ol civilian. TMZ reports that he'll be charged with misdemeanor assault, an attack the designer says was unprovoked though allegedly happened after he pushed Brooke Shields (possibly just trying to sidle by her at the crowded bar). The altercation is said to have left McCollough with a tiny gash on his nose, though his reps are making it sound more serious by saying: "He was the victim of a vicious, violent, unprovoked assault." Later today Kiefer, currently on probation for a DUI, will show up at the First Precinct station house downtown and get a desk appearance ticket and his arraignment date set.
