Just read that ol’ Charlie sounds like he is back up to his old tricks again, as he was arrested last night in Aspen, Colorado on suspicion of domestic violence assault and a few other less serious charges… It said he will be held without bond, until court is back in session after the holiday weekend. Is that standard procedure on DV arrests (not allowing the accused to bond out) or does that mean that it was an extra serious (alleged) assault? Seems to me that the rich and famous usually can get bailed out after just about any arrests, including things seemingly much more serious than an assault charge. ETA—I see that two of the charges are felonies, so whatever happened it sounds pretty serious. ---

If only he could run into Jennifer Grey while he’s in there… “Why are you here?” “Drugs.” ---

Despite the Aspen authorities previously stating that Charlie Sheen was not eligible for bond or bail because of the serious nature of his alleged crimes, he was released earlier this evening after all, just in time to spend the rest of the holiday with his beloved family. ---

If his wife was drunk and called in a false abuse/assault report, maybe a long holiday weekend in jail would discourage her from similar actions in the future. ---

I have to disagree with the bond issues, because the whole point of bail is to allow people who are not a threat to the community and not unlikely to skip the opportunity to stay out of jail till their trail. This also saves the county/city money. I mean Charlie Sheen is far to famous to skip bail. Everyone knows who he is, he can’t skip the country. And while he may be a threat to his wife and/or kids, he isn’t a threat to the community as a whole. So perhaps he could’ve been give bond with the condition he stay away from his wife? Yeah I am not saying that celebrities don’t get special privileges, I was just commenting on the nature of bond/bail as a whole ---
