Sutherland removed from police fundraiser

Los Angeles Police officials have deemed disgraced actor Kiefer Sutherland an "inappropriate" choice to honour movie mogul Brian Grazer at a gala benefit this weekend - and removed him from the event.

The '24' star was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, while still on probation for another DUI in 2004, on Tuesday morning - and now faces jail.

As a result, organisers of an LAPD fundraiser on Saturday have told Sutherland he's no longer welcome at the event.

The actor was scheduled to present an award to producer Grazer for his charity efforts. Sutherland has been replaced by movie maker Ron Howard.
