After spending a good portion of his Christmas Day in an Aspen jail on domestic violence charges, Charlie Sheen is no longer behind bars.

According to the Pitken County Sheriff’s Office, just before 7 p.m. local time Judge James Boyd informed Sheen that he would be released from jail and must return to Aspen on February 8, 2010 to face the judge in court. Sheen posted an $8,500 bond.

At approximately 8:30 in the morning, officers responded to a 911 call at 320 West Hallam Street and arrested the “Two and a Half Men” star for second degree assault, a class four felony; menacing, a class five felony; and criminal mischief, a class one misdemeanor. All charges are coupled with a domestic violence component. Sheen is married to Brooke Mueller.
