New York's Finest were called to The Plaza Hotel around 2 a.m. today, according to the NY Post, to find a drunk and naked Charlie Sheen amidst his trashed hotel suite. His ex-wife, Denise Richards, had been staying in a separate room at the hotel with their two daughters, and accompanied him to a hospital. According to TMZ, Sheen was "emotionally disturbed" and voluntarily went.
Earlier in the night, Sheen was with an unidentified woman, who returned to his room with him—it was then, after a night of partying, that he noticed his wallet was missing and went into a rage, which reportedly included taking his anger out on a chandelier in the room. The 45-year-old was arrested last year in Colorado after allegedly threatening to kill his other ex-wife, Brooke Mueller.
