Report: Charlie Sheen Charges Likely Undecided Until February

It may not be known until February whether charges will be filed against Charlie Sheen for alleged domestic abuse.

Prosecutors tell ET that they probably won't decide if they will file charges against him until just prior to his next scheduled court appearance on Feb. 8.

The actor was arrested Christmas Day on suspicion of menacing, second-degree assault and criminal mischief. Chief Deputy District Attorney Arnold Mordkin said on Monday that second-degree assault is the most serious charge and usually carries potential jail time of two to eight years, with a fine of $2,000 to $500,000.
