Actor Charlie Sheen Arrested in Aspen Colorado on Charges Related to Domestic Violence

Sheen Spends Christmas Day Behind Bars

Actor Charlie Sheen has been arrested in Aspen, Colorado on charges related to domestic violence. According to the Aspen Times, police spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro said Sheen was taken into custody Friday on suspicion of second-degree assault and menacing, which are both felonies, as well as being charged with criminal mischief, which is a misdemeanor. His wife, Brooke Mueller, reportedly called police after he allegedly pushed her.

Since he is charged with committing domestic violence, he will remain behind bars without bond until he is advised of the charges, according to the Aspen Times. According to media reports, Colorado law requires protection orders between people arrested on domestic violence cases and their alleged victims. The court was closed for Christmas and no date has been set for his appearance.

Sheen, who is the son of actor Martin Sheen, married Mueller in May 2008, following his acrimonious divorce from actress Denise Richards. His screen credits include "Platoon," "Wall Street" and the "Hot Shots!" movies. He is the star of CBS series "Two and a Half Men."

    I have to say, I'm not shocked in the slightest. This is just one of the many cases of abuse by Charlie Sheen. Mueller should have known better. But there's no doubt she tried 'to get it there' with Sheen because of his money and the fame. That's why she had those kids as fast as she did; the oldest trick in the book I might add.

    But it is so wrong that she's experiencing this. So wrong. I hooe he pays for this one,

    Domestic violence laws have been changed due to women who will not press charges (could be other way around, but generally females have been the victims). If police are called, they determine who needs to be arrested and it does not matter if victim changes mind about the assualt.

    Heather, the latest from Aspen is that his wife recanted her statements to police before his bail hearing. She reportedly said she was drunk. That opens up another can of worms. Still, domestic violence is never good, as you have stated.

    Domestic disputes are never good. Hope he pays a price for this if he did this.
