The Los Angeles County Sherriff's Department responded to an alleged attack on Charlie Sheen by a neighbor at Sheen's home in Malibu, California. The neighbor has since been arrested.
Officers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, or LASD, responded to "a battery/disturbance call" at Sheen's residence on Wednesday at around 1 p.m. after they said a 47-year-old woman entered the actor's home and assaulted him.After answering a knock at the door, the former "Two and a Half Men" star, 58, had his shirt ripped by the suspect, who also tried to strangle him, TMZ reported, citing law-enforcement sources.Reports say the suspect then returned home and that paramedics attended the scene, but Sheen did not require hospital treatment.An LASD spokesperson told Business Insider: "Upon contacting the parties involved, deputies identified Charlie Sheen as a victim of assault.""The suspect, Electra Schrock, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, force likely to create great bodily injury," and "residential burglary," they added.Sheen has had previous issues with this neighbor, TMZ reported, and she had reportedly left trash in front of his door the day before the assault.Sheen is among the highest-paid actors of all time, once raking in about $1.8 million per episode for his role in the hit comedy "Two and a Half Men."But CBS fired him in 2011 after a series of public tirades in which he denounced the show's creator, Chuck Lorre, and offered a range of bizarre quotes, including saying he had "tiger blood" and "Adonis DNA."In an exclusive interview with People earlier this month, Sheen said he had been sober for almost six years after his well-documented battles with drugs and alcohol."I have a very consistent lifestyle now. It's all about single-dad stuff and raising my 14-year-old twin boys, Max and Bob," he said.
