Charlie Sheen’s neighbor arrested after bizarre assault on actor in Malibu home

Electra Schrock was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement Friday. She was also taken into custody for force likely to create bodily injury and burglary.

Authorities arrived at the residence Wednesday afternoon after receiving a battery-disturbance call.

Schrock, 47, was expected to appear in court Friday.

Representatives for Sheen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sheen, 58, is known for his role on “Two and a Half Men.” He starred in films including “Wall Street,” “The Three Musketeers” and “Major League.”

The violent altercation is one of several bizarre encounters between the neighbors, according to TMZ.

The day before the attempted choking, the neighbor dumped her garbage on Sheen’s doorstep, a source close to the actor told TMZ.

Prior to that, Sheen suspected she was the person responsible for pouring a sticky liquid onto his vehicle, the source said.

It was unclear whether Sheen had reported any of the prior incidents to police.

Sheen himself has been the subject of several assault arrests, including an incident in 1996 when he was charged with attacking then-girlfriend Brittany Ashland at his home. Sheen pleaded no contest to the charges and was placed on two years' probation.

On Christmas Day in 2009, he was arrested in Aspen, Colo., after a domestic violence incident involving former wife Brooke Mueller. The next year, as a part of a plea deal, Sheen pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault.

And in 2015, Scottine Ross, Sheen's ex-fiancee, sued the actor, alleging assault, battery, false imprisonment, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress for failing to disclose he was HIV-positive and placing her at risk. She accused the actor of abusing her physically and emotionally while he used drugs and alcohol, as well as negligently exposing her to HIV after he was infected. Presumably a settlement was reached, as Ross requested in 2018 that the case be dismissed.

Last year, Sheen settled a separate lawsuit for $120,000, in which another former girlfriend alleged that he had also lied to her about his HIV-positive status and exposed her to the virus.

When he was the highest-paid actor in TV, acting on the hit CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men," Sheen struggled with substance abuse, which temporarily derailed his career after show co-creator Chuck Lorre fired him. Lawsuits, 100 episodes of "Anger Management," an HIV-positive diagnosis and sobriety followed.

This past April, Sheen was reportedly cast in a new HBO show by Lorre. The new show would mark a reunion of the pair more than a decade after Sheen's bitter departure from the sitcom.

After his firing in 2011, Sheen sued Lorre and Warner Bros. for wrongful termination and went on an improvised national tour he dubbed "My Violent Torpedo of Truth / Defeat Is Not an Option," where he bragged about his drunken, party-filled lifestyle and occasionally mocked his old employer.
