News of Divorce Triggered Charlie Sheen to Attack Wife

Perezhilton.com is reporting that Charlie Sheen's Christmas day aggression towards wife, Brooke Mueller, which lead him a stint behind bars was triggered by the news that his wife requested a divorce from the actor.

Apparently, Sheen and Mueller's marriage have been on the brink for quite some time, and the Mueller's desire for a divorce, which was announced over several drinks during a Christmas Eve dinner, only made the couples relationship worst. Sheen did not hold a knife to his wife's throat as previously reported, but he still reportedly threatened his wife with another sharp object.

Sheen was released from prison on bail later on Christmas night. His wife is currently in the process of obtaining a restraining order against him. No word yet on when Sheen will be required to appear in court, or whether his charges will all remain or be dropped.
