Prosecutors want Charlie Sheen restraining order to stay in place

Prosecutors want the restraining order between Charlie Sheen and his wife to stay in place – despite the couple asking for it to be lifted.

The Spin City star and Brooke Mueller had asked a judge to dismiss the protection order, which was put in place following Sheen’s domestic violence arrest.

The couple reportedly want the order lifted so they can reconcile and patch up their differences.

But on Wednesday, prosecutor Arnold Mordkin filed a motion opposing their request. A judge is expected to decide the outcome on Monday.

Sheen, 43, spent 10 hours in custody on Christmas Day after a scuffle with Mueller at her rented home in Aspen, Colorado.

The real estate investor called 911 at 8.34am and told police Sheen had held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her.

The actor, who denied her accusations, was handcuffed and arrested on suspicion of second-degree assault, menacing (knowingly placing someone in fear of imminent serious bodily injury) and criminal mischief (willfully damaging someone else’s property).

Police confirmed that all three charges were “coupled with a domestic violence component”.

Sheen, who wed Mueller in 2008, was released from custody after posting an $8,500 bail bond. He is due to appear in court on February 8 next year.
