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

Actor Charlie Sheen arrested in Aspen, Colorado on charges related to domestic violence, after wife, Brooke Mueller calls 911.

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."


UPDATE#1: Sheen bonded out of jail sometime after 6 p.m. and was scheduled to catch a flight to Los Angeles, his attorney, Richie Cummins told the Aspen Times. His bond was $8,500.
