Charlie Sheen Charged in Christmas Incident

Actor Charlie Sheen was charged with felony menacing Monday in Pitkin County District Court in Aspen, where a judge also lifted a portion of a protection order that prohibits him from having contact with his wife.

Sheen and his wife, Brooke, exchanged a brief hug after the hearing, then departed the courtroom separately.

It was Sheen’s first court appearance since he was jailed Christmas Day in Aspen on domestic violence allegations.

Prosecutor Arnold Mordkin also filed two class-one misdemeanor charges — assault in the third degree and criminal mischief — against Sheen.

But it’s the class-five felony menacing charge that’s the most punitive. If convicted of that charge, Sheen faces a state prison sentence of one to three years.

Charlie Sheen Trial Date Moved

A hearing this week in Charlie Sheen’s domestic violence case has been delayed two days because his wife Brooke Mueller had to have a wisdom tooth removed.

“She has been ordered by the doctor to stay in bed for 72 hours,” the source close to Mueller says.

Mueller’s attorney had filed court papers asking that she be allowed to attend Wednesday’s hearing in an Aspen, Colo., court by telephone, but the judge instead set the session for Friday because the law requires both Mueller and Sheen to appear in person.

Charlie Sheen Arrested and Released on Christmas

Police were called to the house of Charlie Sheen yesterday morning around 11:20am after receiving a call concerning a domestic violence complaint. Once there, they arrested Charlie Sheen on second-degree assault, menacing-both felonies- and criminal mischief-a misdemeanor. His bail was set at $8500.00 and he was released about 7pm that evening.

His attorney (Richard Cummins) is not naming who the complainant is at this time and warned against making any assumptions. With that said, most people are assuming it is his third wife Brooke Mueller. The attorney also goes on to say that the whole event has been blown out of proportion.
