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.
