Hollywood actor Charlie Sheen was arrested on Friday in the Colorado ski resort of Aspen on charges of domestic violence after reportedly attacking his wife.

‘‘Carlos Irwin Estevez, also known as the actor Charles I. Sheen, was brought to the Pitkin County Colorado Jail for booking and incarceration following his arrest by the Aspen Police Department,’’ police spokesman Jeff Lumsden said.

The name of the victim was not immediately released, but Hollywood press reported that 44-year-old Sheen’s arrest followed a domestic dispute with his third wife, Brooke Mueller.

After several entanglements with the law in the 1990s in cases related to drugs, domestic violence and prostitution, Sheen is now one of the best-paid television comedians thanks to the highly popular n series.

In 1997, the actor was tried for attacking his girlfriend at his California home. He has also been accused of assaulting his ex-wife actress Denise Richards.
