Charlie Sheen accused of using weapon in dispute

Aspen, Colo. — Authorities say actor Charlie Sheen is accused of using a weapon in an alleged case of domestic violence in Aspen.

Sheen spent part of Christmas Day in jail after being arrested at a home in the Colorado ski resort town.

Police spokeswoman Stephanie Dasaro did not provide details on what kind of weapon Sheen is accused of using.

Sheen also was arrested in connection with an investigation of second-degree assault, a felony, and criminal mischief, a misdemeanor.

Sheen’s lawyer didn’t return a telephone call Sunday seeking comment.

Sheen hasn’t been charged and was released Friday after posting an $8,500 bond. Prosecutors will determine whether to file charges.

Jon Gosselin’s apartment trashed during holidays

New York — Jon Gosselin’s apartment was ransacked by someone who slashed furniture, stole his TV and left a note pinned to his dresser with a butcher knife while he visited his children for Christmas, his lawyer said Sunday.

The reality show star was “devastated” by the destruction he found when he returned Saturday from Pennsylvania, attorney Mark Jay Heller said in a statement.

Gosselin’s clothes, bed and other furniture were cut up, and a family-heirloom vase was shattered, Heller said. His TV, other electronics and his dishes were taken by a “very troubled and sick perpetrator,” Heller said.

He wouldn’t disclose who signed the note or what it said, adding that police were examining it. Police declined to comment.
