The Sheriff’s Office said in a statement that Los Angeles County police rushed to the actor’s luxury villa after receiving a report of an “assault and disturbance,” according to Agence France-Presse.
The actor turned out to be the victim, according to the statement, which indicated that “the suspect, named Electra Schrock, was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon that could cause serious injury,” as well as on charges of “burglary.”
The statement explained that the woman attacked actor Charlie Sheen “when he opened the door.”
TMZ, a website specializing in celebrity news, reported that Electra Schrock, 47 years old, is Charlie Sheen’s neighbor, adding that she “torn Charlie’s shirt and tried to strangle him” and that paramedics examined him, but he was not taken to the hospital.
The site stated that this confrontation is likely not the first between the two neighbors.
Charlie Sheen, whose real name is Carlos Estevez, became a global star thanks to films such as “Platoon” and “Wall Street” in the 1980s. He is the son of actor Martin Sheen and brother of theater actor Emilio Estevez.
Since the first decade of the twenty-first century, most of the works he has participated in have been television, most notably the series “Spin City,” for which he won a Golden Globe Award, “Two and a Half Men,” and “Anger Management.” .
Sheen became the world’s highest-paid small screen actor between 2010 and 2011, according to Forbes magazine.
But the 58-year-old star, who was known in the past to be addicted to alcohol and drugs, was excluded from “Two and a Half Men” in 2011 due to his disturbed and violent behavior.
