Here’s a little news to make the yuletide bright … TMZ is reporting that actor Charlie Sheen was arrested on Xmas day in Aspen, CO on charges that he assaulted his wife Brooke Mueller. Here is Charlie‘s mugshot and the reported deets surrounding his arrest:
Charlie Sheen was arrested today in Aspen, Colorado and is being held in jail without bond. Police responded after a 911 call was made at 8:34 AM. When cops arrived, they arrested Sheen for felony second degree assault, felony manacing and criminal mischief, a misdemeanor. The name of the victim was not disclosed. An ambulance arrived on scene, but the alleged victim was not transported. Sheen will stay in jail until he appears before a judge.
UPDATE: Sources tell TMZ the alleged victim is Sheen’s wife, Brooke Mueller. Sheen’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield, “Don’t be mislead by appearances. Appearances and reality can be as different as night and day.”
Damn … the first thing that Sheen and Mueller did on Xmas morning was allegedly get into a physical altercation? That is so effed up. I’m sure Charlie has his own side of the story, which we’ll hear in due time. But for now, while he’s cooling his heels in the pokey, we only have the info made available in this initial report. Ho Ho Ho.
UPDATE #2: It turns out that Charlie may be innocent of these allegations altogether … his wife Brooke has recanted her claims that he assaulted her and admitted that she was drunk when she made the claims in her 911 call:
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … Brooke Mueller was legally drunk when she called 911 on Charlie Sheen … and, we’ve learned, Brooke has fessed up that her allegation was phony. Sources say authorities gave both Charlie and Brooke blood alcohol tests. Brooke registered a .13 while Charlie registered a .04. By the way, the 911 call came in at 8:34 AM on Christmas day. We’re also told Brooke recanted her story to a female officer just before the bail hearing, telling the cop she was drunk when she made the 911 call. Nevertheless, law enforcement sources say police will still pursue the case — at least for now.
OY!! What a crappy way to spend Xmas … but, boy, Charlie and Brooke really know how to do it up.
TMZ is saying the Brooke was drunk when she called 911 and she confessed that her story was bogus. That he didn’t hit her.
That’s pretty early in the morning to be wasted. lol
Further stories state she had choking marks on her neck and is recanting her story per his handlers to get out of the pre-nup and get a nice divorce settlement.
Also, they were drunk because they partied all night – his level most likely lower because he likes powder.
YIKES – what a mess – the white trash version of Hollywood! LOL
i was thinking something along the lines of what lisa said. of course she recanted her story. most women who are victims of domestic abuse, later go back & say it didn’t happen. with him already having a record…it’s hard to believe she just made it up.
Charlie Sheen is one of those people that should never be married.
I don’t understand why they would continue to press charges against him after she recanted her story, and was shown to be crazy drunk at the time. If you are a man, how do you protect yourself from an abusive woman?
@Krissy?? …. because when an abusive relationship ‘incident’ happens to a woman, they almost always recant the story – for a variety of reasons … out of shame, fear, the reality of having to talk to police or go to court. Men can EASILY walk away from abuse, but women are often more ‘tied’ to a man (and house) … especially when they have babies/kids depending on them.
A Charlie Sheen Christmas
