Charlie Sheen's Home Searched By Police
Officers removed antique rifle and bullets after receiving tip actor was in possession of weapons.
Los Angeles Police Department officers paid yet another visit to troubled actor Charlie Sheen's home on Thursday evening as part of an investigation into a suspected violation of the temporary restraining order connected to the former "Two and a Half Men" star's ex-wife, Brooke Mueller.
Based on a tip that Sheen was in possession of weapons and ammunition, police searched the home for three hours but did not arrest Sheen after carting away an antique rifle from the 1800s and some bullets, according to TMZ. The police visit reportedly came after cops received a tip earlier in the day that Sheen had threatened to harm himself with a firearm; the actor is prohibited from possessing weapons as part of the restraining order.
An LAPD spokeswoman told Us magazine, "We were there to investigate the possible violation of a restraining order. It came to our attention that Mr. Charlie Sheen is a registered owner of firearms so we were making sure there were no firearms or ammunition in the home." Spokeswoman Norma Eisenman would not discuss whether any firearms were found in the home and said Sheen cooperated with police.
As the raid was under way, news helicopters broadcast footage of Sheen — who filed a $100 million lawsuit against his former "Men" bosses earlier in the day — calmly eating his dinner in his backyard. He later tweeted, "All good here on homefront. All reports are false. I'll explain more very soon." He later added, "The LAPD were AWESOME. Absolute pros! They can protect and serve this Warlock anytime!"
Just before the police action, Sheen revealed some news to his followers, confirming that he will be launching a Conan O'Brien-style road show in the near future entitled My Violent Torpedo of Truth/ Defeat Is Not an Option Show.
The first two confirmed dates for the outing are April 2 at the Fox Theatre in Detroit and April 3 at the Chicago Theatre in Chicago. Tickets for the shows go on sale Saturday, but at press time Sheen had not announced the lineup of performers for the events.
The promotional description of the show reads like one of Sheen's many recent online rants. "I'm going on the road. LIVE. Will there be surprises? Will there be guests? Will there be mayhem? Will you ask questions? Will you laugh? Will you scream? Will you know the truth? WILL THERE BE MORE?!?! This IS where you will hear the REAL story from the Warlock. Bring it. I dare you to keep up with me."

The visit came on the same day Sheen announced he was filing a $100 million dollar lawsuit against Warner Brothers and the creator of Two and a Half Men. He was fired from the show on Monday.
It is the second time police have visited Sheen's gated community in recent weeks. Ten days ago they retrieved his twin boys from his custody after Mueller was awarded the temporary restraining order.

The fired Two and a Half Men star is taking his personal show on the road, embarking on what is sure to be an epic journey: Charlie Sheen LIVE: My Violent Torpedo of Truth.
The one-man-show kicks off in Detroit on April 2, followed by a stop in Chicago. Only two dates have been announced so far, and tickets go on sale Saturday.
"Will there be mayhem? Will you ask questions?" a show description reads on Ticketmaster's Web site. "Will you laugh? Will you scream? Will you know the truth?"
To follow-up those questions with a few Sheen-isms: Will he be accompanied by his army of assassins – or his goddesses? Will he find a tuxedo that fits his chest and biceps for the occasion? Will he come prepared with his fire-breathing fists?
And while he lets those questions simmer, Sheen does make one promise: "This IS where you will hear the REAL story from the Warlock," the description continues. "Bring it. I dare you to keep up with me."
Tickets start at $35.
