ACTOR Charlie Sheen spent the better part of Christmas Day in a jail cell after being arrested on domestic violence allegations.
The 44-year-old actor was taken into custody on Friday morning by officers responding to an emergency call from a house in Aspen, a ski resort town in the state of Colorado.
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 US$8,500 bond and being advised by a county judge on the conditions of his release, she said.
Dasaro didn't name Sheen's accuser, citing a department policy prohibiting the identification of potential victims in domestic violence cases.
Aspen attorney Richard Cummins said late on Friday that he was representing Sheen in the case. He declined to name Sheen's accuser or discuss details, but he cautioned against any rush to judgment.
"I think at the end of the day it will be much ado about nothing," Cummins said.
