Charlie Sheen to spend 30 days in jail under plea

Actor Charlie Sheen is expected to plead “no contest” to a misdemeanor on June 7th and be sentenced to 30 days in jail, beginning the same day.

Sheen was charged in relation to an incident where he allegedly assaulted and threatened wife Brooke Mueller. Although the sentence is expected to be 30 days, the actor will probably end up serving between 15 and 17 days in the slammer if he’s a good boy. A source told Us Magazine that the actor preferred jail time to probation:

“Sheen and his people are worried that if he were to get into more trouble that he’d almost surely go to prison,” the source said. “By taking responsibility for what he did in Aspen, and agreeing to a no-probation resolution, he’ll be able to sleep a little easier. Compared to prison, the jail in Aspen is a far more attractive option.”

Richard Cummins, Sheen’s attorney, reportedly requested that the actor be allowed smoking breaks while at the big house, but that won’t be allowed. Reps for Sheen declined comment on the situation.
