Charlie Sheen spent Christmas Day (25Dec09) behind bars in an Aspen, Colorado jail.
The actor, real name Carlos Irwin Estevez, was arrested after allegedly fighting with his wife, Brooke Mueller.
In a statement, a Pitkin County Sheriffs Office spokesman confirmed Sheen was charged with "second degree assault", "menacing" and "criminal mischief."
The spokesman added, "All charges are coupled with a domestic violence component."
Sheen and Mueller were celebrating Christmas in Aspen with their baby twins.
The actor was released from jail late on Friday (25Dec09) and has hired Colorado attorney Richard Cummins to represent him, according to TMZ.com.
The website reports Mueller told police she was drunk when she called the police.
Sheen's spokesman Stan Rosenfeld urges the media and the public not to jump to conclusions, stating, "Do not be misled by appearance. Appearance and reality can be as different as night and day."
The actor wed Mueller in May 2008 following a messy divorce with his now ex-wife Denise Richards.
