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.

Charlie Sheen Released from Jail After Posting $8,500 Bond; Wife Declared Legally Drunk During Time of 911 Call

TMZ has just reported that Charlie Sheen was released from jail after consulting a judge that allowed him to leave on an $8,500 bail.

One of the most interesting points raised in this case was that Sheen's wife, Brooke Mueller, was drunk with a BAC of .13 when she made the 911 call. Sheen's BAC level was also checked during the time of the call, but only came in to be a .04.

With this new evidence, do you think Sheen was correct in saying that Mueller started the abuse, and that he was simply fighting her off, or do you still think that Sheen is 100% guilty?

Sheen will still appear in court about his domestic abuse charges. No word yet on when the court case will take place.
