Brooke Mueller has obtained a restraining order against her husband, sitcom star Charlie Sheen, as a result of a violent domestic dispute that landed Sheen in jail for hours on Christmas Day. RadarOnline reports that the protection order was granted by the same judge who heard Sheen’s case and allowed the actor’s release from jail Friday night.

Judge James Boyd has ordered Sheen to cease all contact with his wife until the legal case is resolved. The order is mandatory in domestic violence cases in Colorado.

Sources say Sheen flew from Aspen – where the altercation occurred – to his home in Los Angeles hours after his release from police custody. Mueller has remained in Aspen, but Sheen’s manager Mark Burg claims the pair does not intend to split.
“I have spoken to all parties concerned. There are no plans for divorce,” Burg told RadarOnline. “They are both deeply upset about what happened and are trying to work things out amicably. They both want to get away from all the sensationalism surrounding what happened and quietly resolve things.”

Police responded to a 911 call regarding a report of domestic violence at 8:34 am on Christmas morning. An ambulance was called to the house. Neither Sheen nor the victim, who was not officially named by police, were transported to the hospital. Sheen, 44, was taken into custody on suspicion of second-degree assault and menacing, both felonies, along with criminal mischief, a misdemeanor, Aspen police spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro told the AP.

Colorado attorney Richard Cummins will be representing Sheen in his case and confirms that a court date has been set for Feb. 8. He tells the AP, “That may be to determine whether a case goes forward or not.”

Cummins adds, “I think at the end of the day it will be much ado about nothing. I don’t think there’s any criminality about what went on.”

Sheen’s publicist Stan Rosenfield says, “It would benefit everyone not to jump to any conclusion.”
TMZ initially reported that Mueller called 911 claiming Sheen assaulted her, but that Sheen told law enforcement that Brooke was the aggressor and he was just fending her off.

Brooke Mueller Sheen gave birth to the couple’s first children, twin boys, in March. They married in May 2008 following Sheen’s bitter divorce from Denise Richards.

Sheen’s screen credits include “Platoon,” “Wall Street” and the “Hot Shots!” movies. He nearly died of a drug overdose in 1998 but received court-ordered rehabilitation.
