Publicity Surrounding Mueller

Police also would not release details of the assault that allegedly happened at Belly Up, where a Sublime tribute band was performing at a sold-out show.

















“We're going to be talking to witnesses [Saturday] ...” said Aspen police spokeswoman Blair Weyer.

She also said police will try to obtain security footage of the alleged assault at Belly Up.

Arresting officer Jeff Fain could not be reached for comment Saturday.

Mueller was released after posting $11,000 bond and ordered to appear in Pitkin County District Court on Dec. 19. Mueller's lawyer, Yale Galanter, had no comment, saying he was waiting for more information.

Mordkin is no stranger to the publicity surrounding Sheen and Mueller. On Christmas Day in 2009, Sheen was arrested in Aspen following an alleged domestic dispute with Mueller. Mordkin prosecuted Sheen for the assault on his ex-wife.

“She's obviously a person who attracts a lot of media attention, and we will handle this case just like we handle all cases,” Mordkin said. “She'll get treated like we treat everybody else.”

Sheen, the former star of the hit CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men,” pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault charge in an agreement with the Pitkin County District Attorney's Office in exchange for the dismissal of felony charges of menacing and criminal mischief.
