Actor Charlie Sheen accused of threatening his wife

Actor Charlie Sheen put a knife to his wife`s throat and threatened to kill her in a fight that began over Christmas, she told police, BBC News informs.

The actor spent most time of the Christmas Day in a Colorado jail, thanks to an arrest on domestic violence charges.

Sheen posted an $8,500 bond Friday night and was released from jail that evening. He`s due in court Feb. 8, 2010. Sheen returned to Los Angeles after leaving jail while Mueller and the couple`s 9-month-old twin boys remain in Aspen.
