Brooke Mueller Recants Assault Allegations, Charlie Sheen Out on Bail
Charlie Sheen has been released from prison.
The actor posted $8,500 bond last night, following a significant update to the assault charges leveled against him.
Immediately prior to the bail hearing, wife Brooke Mueller recanted her story to a Colorado police officer. She said she was drunk when she dialed 911 (her blood alcohol test at the time measured a whopping .13) and reportedly backed up Sheen's story that he was merely defending himself.
Still, authorities will pursue charges against the Two and a Half Men star for now.
Sheen has hired Colorado attorney Richard Cummins and his next court date is schedule for February 8.

Response to Susan,
If you listened to the 911 tape you would have heard Brooke talking about her fear while the operator put her on hold. She did cray in part of it and obviously was focusing on if Charlie was coming near her while she was on the phone. You could tell that she wanted police to come and did not want to stay on phone. She was afraid. The police always keep you on forever and when it is an emergency you really do not want to sit there on the phone. I think you should listen to 911 tape a few times more. Also, to get more knowledgeable, read www.huffingtonpost.com and Hollywood Gossip and look at what it says on the arrest affidavit. It is clear, from her red marks and officier finding open knife in bag and what she stated that things do not look very good for him. Unless, however, his money gets him off or Martin's money and help get's him off. Hopefully not! He pinned her on bed, had knife to her throat, threatened to kill her if she told anyone and said he could hire a

Oooh. Heard more about Charlie. Wife w/red marks on neck, he threatened her, no good stuff. I really like his show, but this is bad. What do you do? Stop watching it? He's got to repair this. We all have faults, but
we aren't in the public and they have to remember that at all times...there are always repercussions to bad behavior.

In response to Cheryl regarding marijuana and alcohol. I agree. I have been around pot smokers and drinkers both. The pot smokers are not occasional smokers, they are long time smokers and when "under the influence" you would never know they had smoked pot. Their personalities do not change, their motor skills are the same, their judgment is not impaired, you would never know they were "under the influence". However, with the people I know who drink, their motor skills are impaired, or they become abrasive or worse-violent, they slur their words, they become obnoxious, they become morbid or start crying...the list goes on and you never know how one person is going to react when they have "exceeded their limit". I much prefer to be in the company of a pot smoker versus a drinker. And when I hear of accidents, beatings, etc. and they say the person had marijuana in their systems, you can bet the culprit was the alcohol they also had (in excess), not the pot. I believe alcoho

I'm glad his wife recanted and admitted she was drinking. I heard the 911
call and was not convinced that she was not making up things as she went along. Her call alone does not confirm that she was in danger. She could have been lying to get back at him which she did get him landed in jail. So quickly now she is recanting her story. I wonder if her voice can be put under a "stress" test? If he was really a threat, shame on him, because he's a likable actor, but abuse cannot be tolerated. On the other hand, there are a lot of people who are capable of calling "wolf" just to get back at someone!

Poor Charlie Sheen I feel sorry for the guy cause he is a wonderful actor and person from what I can tell. I can't see hate in him and he just gets mixed up with dumb women and then think since he is a start they can ruin his life and that ain't fair to him. Cause he is kick in the pants of actor and I like his movies and shows and I am collector fan of his. Good luck to you Charlie Sheen and keep your head up and smile it will be alright...
