Brooke Mueller, Charlie Sheen's Ex-Wife, Charged With Cocaine Distribution In Aspen

ASPEN, Colo. — Charlie Sheen's ex-wife has been charged in Colorado with possession and distribution of cocaine stemming from her arrest in Aspen.

Brooke Mueller was arrested by police on Dec. 3 after a woman reported being assaulted at a nightclub.

Pitkin County chief deputy district attorney Arnold Mordkin said Friday that Mueller has also been charged with third-degree assault.

Both drug charges are felonies. Possession with intent to distribute is the most serious and carries a penalty between four to 12 years. Conviction on the possession charge could result in up to 18 months behind bars.

Mueller has vowed to fight the charges.

Sheen and Mueller divorced last year after Sheen was arrested on suspicion of assaulting her in 2009. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and completed his probation in 2010.

Are you kidding ? When my wife worked at a laundry in Aspen 1982, with all the Hollywood types around, she found all kinds of drugs in coat pockets, including the best coke I ever had. I saw pot plants growing in the police department planters out front. Aspen has more bars per capita than anywhere on earth, and she manages to get arrested ? You really have to screw up to get arrested in Aspen.

I guess she was the one with all the problems. I have to say I don't believe anything she said about Charlie.
She is just another female drug abuser trying to blame a man
