Actor Charlie Sheen Arrested, Facing Possible Criminal Domestic Violence Charges

It was recently reported that actor Charlie Sheen was arrested in Aspen, Colorado on Christmas Day last year when his wife, Brooke Sheen, called 911 saying he was threatening her with a knife. The police took Sheen into custody charged him with suspicion of menacing, second-degree assault, and criminal mischief. The incident was supposedly started when Brook Sheen told Charlie Sheen that she wanted a divorce.

In the state of California, an incident such as the one above is taken very seriously by law enforcement officers and would fall under the laws regarding domestic violence. Police in these cases often do not have to have much proof to make an arrest. The prosecutor’s job is to protect the alleged victim in these cases even if the victim does not believe he/she is in need of protection.
