In the final weeks of 2023, Charlie Sheen might have been expecting a few headlines celebrating his amusing return to former boss Chuck Lorre’s newest comedy Bookie (available to stream with a Max subscription), but probably didn’t anticipate being embroiled in a legal situation with an allegedly abusive neighbor. But that’s what this year hath wrought, and said neighbor has now been formally charged with felony assault.
As CinemaBlend previously reported, Charlie Sheen called 911 on Wednesday, December 20, and claimed he’d been attacked and strangled by an upstairs neighbor. Nearly a week later, TMZ confirms that the female apartment tenant, whose name was revealed to be Electra Schrock, is facing charges from the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office.
Schrock was hit with one count of assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury, and is awaiting an arraignment following her booking at the L.A. County jail. She is currently being held on a $75,000 bail.
On the day the 911 call was made, Sheen reported that Schrock was knocking at his door, and that she burst into his home as soon as he opened it. It’s stated that she ripped the actor’s shirt and made attempts to strangle him before the violent scuffle ended and she left his apartment to apparently go back to her own home.
With hopes that everything remains as calm as can possibly be in Charlie Sheen’s apartment building for the ongoing future, fans should be sure to check out his second cameo appearance opposite Sebastian Maniscalco in Max’s Bookie, which wrapped up its eight-episode first season on December 21.
