Official: Actor Charlie Sheen in psych care after hotel call
NEW YORK (AP) — Charlie Sheen was hospitalized today for a psychiatric evaluation after a woman told police he was throwing furniture and yelling in his hotel room, a law enforcement official said. His publicist blamed an allergic reaction to medication.
Police were called to The Plaza by hotel security at about 2 a.m. and Sheen appeared highly intoxicated, the official said. The actor was not arrested and went voluntarily. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the encounter and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
Sheen's publicist Stan Rosenfield said the 45-year-old was expected to be released Wednesday.
"Charlie had an adverse allergic reaction to some medication and was taken to the hospital," he said.
Police haven't received any complaints from the hotel about any possible damage. A message left with the historic hotel at the foot of Central Park wasn't returned.
