NYPD called to Charlie Sheen's hotel

NEW YORK (AP) — Charlie Sheen was hospitalized Tuesday for a psychiatric evaluation after a woman called police to say the star was throwing furniture and yelling in his room at The Plaza, a law enforcement official said.

Police were called to the room at about 2 a.m. and Sheen appeared highly intoxicated, the official said. He was not arrested and went voluntarily. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the incident and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity. It’s not clear who the woman was in the hotel room with him. Sheen was reportedly in New York on a family vacation.

His publicist Stan Rosenfield said the 45-year-old was expected to be released Wednesday.

“What we are able to determine is that Charlie had an adverse allergic reaction to some medication and was taken to the hospital,” he said.

It was the latest in a series of troubles for Sheen, the star of CBS’ “Two and a Half Men,” who has had problems with alcohol and drugs in the past.

In August, he pleaded guilty in Aspen, Colo. to misdemeanor third-degree assault after a Christmas Day assault on his wife, Brooke Mueller Sheen. Prosecutors dropped more serious charges and he avoided jail time and he was sentenced to 30 days in a rehabilitation center, 30 days of probation and 36 hours of anger management.
