Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen’s problems continued Friday, as the actor reported his four-door Mercedes stolen and officials found it — at the bottom of a 100-foot cliff in Sherman Oaks, California.
“It was nice to have police come to my house and for once and I didn’t have to leave with them,” Sheen told The Insider.
Police got an emergency call around 4 am from an alert system that contacts emergency officials when there is a problem with a vehicle, Officer Wendy Reyes said.
At about the same time, the actor called police to say his four-door Mercedes-Benz had been stolen from his home in Sherman Oaks, Officer Bruce Borihanh said.
Police and firefighters found the car 300 to 400 feet (90 to 120 meters) down a cliff, upside-down in the dense brush.They searched the area on foot and with an infrared-equipped helicopter, but found nobody in or around the car, Mr Borihanh said.The car was later hauled back up the hillside and probably would be impounded while the investigation continues, Officer April Harding said.Sheen’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield, confirmed that the actor’s car was reported stolen but said he had no details.
“Charlie is fine, and the police are investigating,” he wrote in an e-mail.Yale Galanter, an attorney for his wife, Brooke Sheen, said he could not comment on the crash because it was under investigation.
Sheen, 42, the star of the CBS television comedy “Two and a Half Men,” was arrested after a Christmas Day domestic disturbance at his Aspen, Colorado, home. Sheen denies threatening his wife.
