Charlie Sheen was arrested Christmas morning in Aspen, Colo., on felony domestic assault charges, the Denver Post reported. The “Two and a Half Men” star was released about 10 hours later on an $8,500 bond.
Police did not identify the alleged victim. But TMZ and other celebrity gossip websites say it was Sheen’s wife, real estate investor and actress Brooke Mueller. The couple married last year and had twin sons in March.
Sheen’s contentious divorce from Denise Richards led to her reality show “It’s Complicated” on the E! network.
Sheen and Mueller have been living apart recently, with Mueller renting a house in Aspen, according to the Web site Associated Content.
Sheen has a history of troubled relationships and substance abuse issues. But TMZ reported that Sheen and Mueller were both given blood alcohol tests — and only Mueller was drunk.
“I think ultimately what you’ll see is there was no criminal conduct whatsoever,” Sheen’s attorney told the Denver Post. Sheen’s publicist advised people “not to jump to any conclusion” about the arrest.
