US actor Charlie Sheen has been charged with assaulting his wife Brooke Mueller in an incident on Christmas Day.
The 44-year-old appeared in court on Monday to face one felony charge and two misdemeanour counts relating to the incident involving the couple at a holiday home in Colorado last year.
Mrs Mueller has, however, now called for the charges against the Two and a Half Men star to be drooped.
Attorney Yale Galanter told the court: "Brooke would like the case dismissed and the charges against Charlie to go away."
Reports claim Sheen held a knife to his partner's throat in the disagreement.
On Monday, judge James Boyd lifted a "no contact" portion of restraining order which had barred the actor from speaking to or having contact with his wife.
Sheen spent much of Christmas Day in a police cell following his arrest.
