Women Abuser Charlie Sheen Agrees To Misdemeanor, 30 Days In Jail

CBS4Denver.com:

Charlie Sheen has reached an agreement with authorities in Colorado over domestic violence allegations involving his wife, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

The agreement was confirmed by Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin, who declined to disclose details.

Brooke Mueller Sheen's lawyer, Yale Galanter, also confirmed a plea agreement but refused to say what the terms were because "a deal is not a deal until the judge approves it."

"There has definitely been a deal reached," said Galanter. "Brooke is totally satisfied with the deal but if she had her druthers, the case would have been dismissed."

Sheen pleaded not guilty to menacing, criminal mischief and assault charges stemming from an argument with his wife on Christmas Day at an Aspen home where they were on vacation. The most serious charge is menacing, a felony that carries a maximum three-year prison sentence.

30 days?!? What a joke. Any non-celebrity would've gotten plenty more. Charlie Sheen has serious anger-management issues and he's going to abuse more women because of it.

Charlie Sheen To Plead Guilty To Misdemeanor Assault

Canoe.com:

Charlie Sheen will be charged with misdemeanour assault and felony menacing ahead of a court hearing on Monday, according to a new U.S. report.

The actor was arrested on Christmas morning in Aspen, Colorado following a domestic dispute with his wife Brooke Mueller. He spent much of the day behind bars and then was ordered to stay away from his wife.

The temporary restraining order was briefly lifted last month to allow Sheen to visit Mueller in hospital, where she was battling pneumonia, and lawyers for the estranged couple are set to appear in court on Monday to request a judge relax the terms of the order, allowing the pair to resume contact.

But, before the hearing, Sheen will be charged, according to TMZ.com.

Insiders tells the website the criminal complaint will be filed late on Friday or on Monday morning.

By pleading to the misdemeanor Sheen will avoid serving any jail time, but it prevents him from getting his record sealed. Word out there is that the wife wants to get back together so they can be one happy family again. Any woman who lays down with a racist, bastard like Charlie Sheen gets what she deserves.

Hanes Drops Charlie Sheen From Advertisements

Forbes.com:

Hanesbrands has ended its advertising campaign featuring Charlie Sheen because of domestic violence charges filed against the actor, a company spokesman said Wednesday.

Spokesman Matt Hall said the seriousness of the allegations against the 44-year-old actor made the decision necessary.

"It's a pretty standard, straightforward call when somebody who's in your commercials is arrested on suspicion of something of this magnitude," Hall said. "And we would suspend the ads both for the company and, really, for Mr. Sheen and his family as well. Given the publicity, it makes sense to not air those ads during that time."

Hall said the television ads were stopped effective Dec. 28, the first business day after Sheen was arrested. He said some print ads will continue to appear into the spring.

"Unfortunately, the production schedule of those publications do not allow us to pull those ads," Hall said.

The "Two and a Half Men" star was arrested in Aspen, Colo., on Christmas Day on charges including felony menacing and domestic violence. His wife Brooke Sheen told police he put a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her. Sheen denies the allegations.

Good for Hanes. If advertisers can drop Tiger Woods for being an adulterer, than Charlie Sheen should get dropped for being a complete a-hole who beats women.

While Tiger Woods Gets Cooked, Charlie Sheen Gets A Free Pass

NYPost.com:

Nothing says "holiday joy" like jail for TV's most famous men.

Late Thanksgiving night, the highest-paid (not to mention the randiest) man in all of sports got into a domestic dispute with his wife, crashed his car, got clubbed by said wife (literally) and ended up snoring on the side of the road before being hauled away, ruining Thanksgiving and the lives of his wife and Tiger cubs, not to mention his career.

On Christmas morning, the highest-paid (even randier) actor on TV wrecked Christmas for his (legally drunk) wife Brooke Mueller and their twins by attacking said wife with a knife and spending Christmas posting bail.

Maybe they should change those lyrics to "God Arrest Ye Merry Gentleman."

But, unlike Tiger Woods, Charlie Sheen's latest vicious behavior has not ruined his career. Sheen's only gotten richer and more popular every year for behavior so menacing he should be classified as a career criminal.

His rise up the Hollywood ladder -- and corresponding crime wave -- began in 1990 when he shot his fiancée Kelly Preston "by mistake." In 1991, he was rewarded with a starring role in "Rookies."

In 1995, he was outed as one of Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss's deepest-pocketed clients ($110,000!). He cooperated with the police and testified against her at the trial.

That same year he sailed through the assault of a UCLA student who refused to have sex with him by settling out of court. In 1996, he was "punished" with a big gig on "Spin City."

Enter 1997 and he knocked his then-girlfriend Brittany Ashland to the floor and split her lip. He got a year's suspended sentence, two years probation, a $2,800 fine and a gig narrating "Discovery Mars," a TV special. Not bad for a high school dropout.

The following year, after smoking crack and injecting coke, his father Martin Sheen reported him for violating parole and forced him into rehab. He starred in four movies that year.

In 2005, the "Two and a Half Men" star's pregnant wife Denise Richards divorced him for catting around with hookers, gambling, drug and alcohol abuse. He was nominated for a Golden Globe and launched a kids' clothing line shortly thereafter.

9/11 Truther Charlie Sheen In Trouble For Beating Wife

ABCNews.com:

Charlie Sheen spent the better part of Christmas Day in a Colorado jail cell after being arrested on domestic violence allegations.

The 44-year-old actor was taken into custody Friday morning by officers responding to a 911 call from a house in this ski resort town about 200 miles west of Denver.

An ambulance went to the house, but the accuser was not taken to the hospital.

Sheen, the star of CBS' "Two and a Half Men," was taken to the Pitkin County jail and booked for investigation of second-degree assault and menacing, both felonies, along with criminal mischief, a misdemeanor, Aspen police spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro said.

He was released in the late afternoon after posting $8,500 bond and being advised by a county judge on the conditions of his release, she said.

Charlie Sheen's history with women is as bad as Michael Moore's past history with hamburgers, but that hasn't stopped female after female from messing this racist schlep. Granted, he's rich and famous so he's gonna attracted a golddigger or two regardless, but still any chick dumb enough to marry the likes of Sheen has no one to blame but themselves for the consequences.
