HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Charlie Sheen may be on the verge of a plea deal with prosecutors over his domestic violence arrest on Christmas Day in Aspen.
Prosecutor Arnold Mordkin tells The Aspen Times that the two sides moved closed to reaching a deal in the last week. That resulted in a new court date being set for June 7 (Sheen was originally ordered to appear next in court on June 18 for a motions hearing).
"The [June 7] setting was made in contemplation of a final disposition being made that's acceptable to the district attorney's office," Sheen's defense attorney, Richard Cummins, told the paper.
Sheen, 44, has pleaded not guilty to menacing, criminal mischief and assault charges stemming from the incident, in which he allegedly held a knife to wife Brooke Mueller's throat during a holiday getaway. His trial is scheduled to begin on July 21. If convicted, he could serve one to three years in prison.
Mueller and Sheen, who tied the knot in May 2008, welcomed their first children, twin boys, last year.
