On December 29, 2009, CNN reported that Charlie Sheen’s Wife, Brooke Mueller, has accused Mr. Sheen of threatening to have her killed. CNN reports that Mueller alleges Sheen said, “I have ex-police I can hire who know how to get the job done, and they won’t leave any trace,” as he held her down with a knife.
Sheen was arrested on Christmas Day and is being charged with assault, menacing with a deadly weapon and criminal mischief. He posted $8,500 bond and was released. According to CNN, Sheen claimed that Mueller threatened to divorce him. He admitted he was upset by these threats because of his previous history. Sheen further admitted to officers that he and his wife had slapped each other on the arms. He said he snapped two pairs of her eyeglasses in front of her.
When faced with any criminal allegations, it is imperative to retain legal counsel as soon as possible. Hiring an attorney at the critical, initial stage of investigation can save you thousands of dollars in attorney and investigation fees because an attorney can negotiate with the prosecutor’s office before a case is even filed against you. Also, hiring an experienced attorney at the onset of criminal investigation will ensure that admissions are not made to law enforcement.
It is essential to speak with a knowledgeable criminal defense attorney when faced with assault allegations. An attorney will ensure your constitutional rights are protected.
