Mueller&#8217;s attorney, Yale Galanter, has not responded to phone calls seeking comment. <\/p>\n<p>Sheen previously pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of battery with serious bodily injury after a 1996 incident in which he was accused of knocking then-girlfriend Brittany Ashland to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Burglars stole his Mercedes-Benz on Friday after he left his garage door open with the keys in the ignition, and the car ended up crashed and abandoned in a ravine off Mulholland Drive. Police have not found the burglars, who also stole items from other homes in Sheen&#8217;s gated community in Sherman Oaks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;\u00a0 Amina Khan<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo: Charlie Sheen in January 2009.
