Sheen's ex-wife arrested

Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, has been arrested on suspicion of third-degree assault and cocaine possession with intent to distribute, according to police in the US.

Authorities said officers arrested Mueller early today at a nightclub after a woman reported being assaulted by her.

Mueller posted $11,000 bond and was released from custody. She’s scheduled in court on December 19. Aspen, Colorado, police spokeswoman Blair Weyer said additional details are not immediately available.

Her lawyer, Yale Galanter, had no comment.

Sheen and Mueller divorced earlier this year, citing Christmas Day 2009 as the day of their break-up.

Charlie Sheen was arrested in Aspen on that day on suspicion of assaulting Mueller. He completed his probation in that case last November.
