Police Raid at Charlie Sheen's House

48 minutes ago by TMZ Staff

The LAPD and other law enforcement are converging at Charlie Sheen's house in a pre-planned raid ... which now appears to involve weapons.

Sources tell us the LAPD has been conducting an investigation into criminal activity -- possibly drugs or weapons. And someone who is at the house tells us cops may be attempting to put Charlie on an involuntary -- 5150 -- psychiatric hold.

UPDATE: Someone at the house tells us, one of the reasons the cops are there is because Charlie allegedly violated the temporary restraining order Brooke Mueller obtained ... which prohibits Charlie from possessing weapons.

Story developing...

UPDATE #2: People inside Charlie's house tell us cops are NOT trying to place Charlie on a 5150 psychiatric hold. Charlie and others in the house are at the dining room table eating hamburgers. It is unclear what the cops are doing.

-----------------------------------

So, I'm sure that all the media will be reporting on Charlie just about every minute of every hour all day tomorrow!

I wish we had a REAL news station that covered only REAL news 24/7

;(

2. Gee, Charlie's bigger than Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Prince William...
...together!

The corporate media and its ownership suck.

3. The majority of people would rather see/hear about Sheen than witness the
"unpleasantness" occurring in so many of our states. I'm just thinking about the people I know -- besides you guys and my best friend, no one else in my universe gives a shit because it doesn't affect them. And, as you state, these aren't REAL news stations, they're there for the ratings/revenue/profit.

AJE - just wish they would cover more US stuff too, though. Maybe they can be a model to like-minded journalists fed up with the current dearth of unfiltered, objective news.

25. SOME are, we need a lot more, though. Again, I can't stress enough how clueless
and totally uninterested the people I see/meet/work with are about this. It is so fucking frustrating!

8. And it's all Obama's fault, too!! Obama had tiger blood and Andonis DNA before it was cool.
Yet, Obama won't intercede with Charlie's incoherent rants, instead he is just following his tweets!
Dawdling!

Why won't Obama put on his comfortable shoes and sit down with Charlie to discuss how he can improve his web casts?
That darned Obama!!

He's too busy listening to music, that's what Obama is doing.
Music that is probably from Kenya, where Obama was raised!

10. Update #3
Edited on Fri Mar-11-11 12:32 AM by Tx4obama
From TMZ.com

Law enforcement sources tell us ... cops raided Charlie Sheen's house after receiving a call that Charlie threatened to harm himself with a firearm.

==========================


And that's all that I'll be posting.
I can't believe I'm even reading all this BS regarding a sitcom actor.

Heading back to political blogs :)

15. True story... Relatives were LAPD cops
You know they hated to work Hollywood division....and they prefered the gun and night club at Rampart, for the same reason I hated working TJ downtown... The primadonas really get to you FAST.

21. goes right along with the idea that all this
stuff is for publicity, and the call to 911 kind of sounds like a set-up
