UPDATE: 1:11PM December 31

Yesterday we said prosecutors would oppose the lifting of a restraining order that bars Charlie Sheen from seeing his wife Brooke Mueller, who he’s accused on threatening with a knife. And we were right.

Assistant District Attorney Arnold Mordkin put his money where his mouth is (see his quotes below). Prosecutors filed a motion opposing the dismissal of the restraining order.

The prosecutor in the Charlie Sheen and Brooke Mueller domestic dispute case intends to fight the request from lawyers on both sides to dismiss the protection order that keeps Sheen from communicating with Mueller, OK! magazine is reporting.

Arnold Mordkin, Chief Deputy District Attorney in Pitkin County, Colorado, says, “In the case of domestic violence, we do want the victim to have a safety plan in place.” The magazine also quotes Mordkin saying that as a matter of principle, “We always oppose lifting the protection order.”

Judge James Berkley Boyd will hold a hearing on Monday morning at 10:30am, although Mordkin observed that it’s not clear whether the hearing is to make a decision on the motion or merely to set a date for deciding.

Mordkin explained that the protection order currently in place does NOT prevent Sheen from seeing his twin sons. It only prevents him from having direct contact with Mueller.
