CHARLIE SHEEN ARRESTED FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SPENDS CHRISTMAS IN JAIL!

Bad boy Charlie Sheen spent Christmas morning in an Aspen, Colo., pokey.
Cops arrested the "Two and a Half Men" star on domestic violence charges about 8:30 a.m., Aspen Police Department officials said.

He was charged with second-degree assault, menacing and criminal mischief and was housed in the Pitkin County jail, cops said.

He later posted $8,500 bond after speaking with a county judge, according to police spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro in Aspen.

RadarOnline.com reported that Sheen tried to choke his wife, Brooke Mueller, who was renting an Aspen home for about three months while Sheen remained in Los Angeles.

Sheen flew to be with his wife on Christmas despite their differences, and they began arguing right away, the site reported.

But TMZ reported that Mueller was legally drunk - registering a .13 blood-alcohol level - while Sheen registered a .04 on tests conducted by police.

Sheen's publicist Stan Rosenfield released a statement saying, "It would benefit everyone not to jump to any conclusion."

The two married last year, and this year Mueller gave birth to twin boys

Sheen was arrested in 1996 and charged with attacking a girlfriend at his home. He pleaded no contest and was placed on two years' probation.
