ASPEN — Charlie Sheen and his wife were reunited Monday after a judge modified a restraining order and allowed them to see each other following a Christmas Day domestic-violence dispute in which the actor allegedly pinned his spouse on a bed with a knife to her throat.
The couple hugged in court, and Brooke Mueller Sheen’s attorney, Yale Galanter, said they hugged again and kissed in the basement of the Pitkin County Courthouse before leaving in separate vehicles. They planned to fly out of Aspen together, and Galanter said he has asked prosecutors to drop the case.
“Brooke would like this case to be over and charges dismissed so they can get on with their lives,” Galanter said. Charlie Sheen is accused of holding a knife to his wife’s throat and threatening to kill her Dec. 25 at his Aspen home. She called police for help.
Prosecutors charged Sheen with felony menacing and misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault and criminal mischief. The most serious charge carries a maximum three- year prison term. Sheen did not enter a plea Monday. The Associated Press
