Charlie Sheen Plea Deal Derailed

We're told the Pitkin County Sheriff signed off on the deal, as did the undersheriff, the lead prosecutor and Pitkin County District Attorney Marty Beeson. But the woman who supervises the work release program at the jail threw the monkey wrench before court today, saying she wasn't going to honor the deal because she had problems with the way it was structured. In short, she would not let Charlie do what all of the parties agreed he could do to complete his 30-day sentence.

We're told the woman made it clear ... she didn't care if her boss made a commitment -- she would not enforce it. We're told the Sheriff would not force the woman to honor the agreement.

At that point, attorney Yale Galanter, who brokered the deal for Sheen, pulled the plug.

Charlie is in Aspen tonight but we're told he will not be going back to court tomorrow.

If the parties work it out, a new court date is set for July 12.

Something happened on the way to the courthouse ... because Charlie Sheen's plea deal didn't go down today.



Prosecutor Arnold Mordkin said in court, "We need more time than is available for us to complete some of the finer points [of the plea deal]."

After the hearing, Mordkin said, "It hit a snag." He was not specific.

Charlie's lawyers seemed stunned when the plea deal didn't happen.

Charlie and company will return to Aspen on July 12.
