Charlie Sheen, the highest-paid television actor in America, spent Christmas Day behind bars after his wife made an emergency, early-morning phone call to the police complaining that she had been assaulted. The star of America's favourite sitcom, Two and a Half Men, was arrested and charged with the second-degree crimes of assault and menacing, which can carry a 12-month prison sentence. The 44-year-old actor was also charged with criminal mischief. Sheen is thought to have become angry after he and his wife, Brooke Mueller Sheen, also known as Brooke Allen, began drinking on Christmas morning. The row escalated at their rented house in Aspen, Colorado, and, grabbing her around the throat, Sheen is alleged to have violently pushed his wife. An ambulance was also called, but Mueller was not taken to the hospital. According to the celebrity gossip website TMZ.com, police attending the scene gave both Mueller and Sheen blood alcohol tests. Despite telling police Brooke was the aggressor and that he was just trying to defend himself, Sheen was taken to Pitkin County Jail, where he was locked up for eight hours. He was eventually freed on bail, after paying a bond of $8,500 (£5,325) and being advised by a county judge on the conditions of his release. A court date has been set for 8 February 2010. Well-known Colorado attorney Richard Cummins, who is representing Sheen, cautioned against any rush to judgment.

What's this the third or forth time for this POS? Why is it that I'm not surprised? This pot smoking, cocaine head represents everything I hate about hollywood. He's a two bit actor who is the mouth piece for talented writers. A nobody otherwise. The fact that his wife couldn't see through this facade of his, is probably not surprising either. And let's not forget the idiot's political commentary.
Of course, this guy thinks this is good publicity...like sleeping with a porno actress and being jailed for drug and disorderly charges.
Let's see, Martin Sheen, Alec Baldwin, who am forgetting?
Oh you mean Carlos Estevez
As obama would say “don’t jump to any conclusions”
And just think they took the last name Sheen because they admired Archbishop Fulton J Sheen. Not so godly like wouldn’t you say
Jeez, Hollywood, grow the hell up and respect the talent that God gave you.....99% of you make more money in a week than most hard-working people in this nation make in a lifetime. How much intelligence and personal integrity does it take to just behave? And you q-tip brains want to know why we stopped watching television and are all tuning in to Wii............because you guys will never appreciate what God gave you, but you did nothing to earn.
Both of them should have been arrested and charged, In all cases where there is nothing more than he said/she said, Take ALL PARTIES TO JAIL. They both participated, only a JURY can decide truth.
I dislike Charlie Sheen and his antics as much as the next person here, but what kind of person informs their spouse on Christmas Day that they want a divorce as it’s reported his wife did?
I got my walking papers on my birthday.
I saw an article that said he held a knife to his wife’s throat. Anyone who would do that to their spouse under any circumstances has serious problems. This guy is like OJ—a ticking time bomb.
You see my point then. It seems his wife is no winner either.
I agree, rbg81. Passive aggressive behavior doesn’t warrant physical violence as retribution.
Hmmmm, I’m sure you didn’t mean that to insult me.....seeing as how you don’t even know me.............
Excuse me. I think if she did indeed say that, then I can easily assume that the disharmony, caused most likely by him, had reached serious proportions. Temper it with drinking in the AM. WE have an alcoholic marrying an alcoholic.

Sorry for the double post. They’re both badnews.... I agree with you.
I was referring to your ex-spouse, of course. :~) Anyone knows FReepers are the best! (perusing your homepage, I assumed you’re female?)
Thanks.........(I have a home-page?.....I need to go see what I put on it last).
Please refer to my post at # 11. I said no such thing.
Agreed. I am baffled why women keep going after these men and marrying them. You would think they would run in the opposite direction from these men. All the Kennedy men, OJ Simpson, the list goes on and on......
