Actor Charlie Sheen spent Christmas Day in police cells after allegedly attacking his wife.

The 44-year-old, the highest-paid actor in TV, was arrested after an emergency call just after 8.30am from a house in Aspen, Colorado.

Sheen, who earns £500,000 an episode for his role in the sitcom Two And A Half Men, had flown to the ski resort to be with his wife Brooke Mueller, 31, and their twin nine-month-old sons Bob and Max.

He was arrested on three charges - second-degree assault, which is often used to describe causing actual
bodily harm, menacing behaviour, and criminal mischief, or damaging property.

He was eventually released on bail after paying a £5,000 bond.

Neither police nor Sheen’s representatives would confirm who the alleged victim was, but friends claimed it was his wife.

Police said they had been called at 8.34am on Christmas Day ‘regarding a domestic violence situation’.

Spokesman Stephanie Dasaro said: ‘Officer Rick Magnuson placed Carlos Irwin Estevez, also known as Charlie Sheen, 44, of Encino, California, under arrest. All charges are coupled with a domestic violence component.’

She said an ambulance also went to the scene but the victim did not need to be taken to hospital.

Sheen is due to appear in court on February 8.

The conditions of his release include no contact with the victim, the victim's family or any witnesses; no harassing or intimidation of the victim; no entry to the family residence until further order of the court; no consumption of alcohol or illegal drugs; and no possession of guns or other weapons.

His lawyer, Richard Cummins, said: ‘I think at the end of the day it will be much ado about nothing.’
