In a twist that can only make the latest Hollywood gossip story weirder, research on Aspen Colorado Police Officer Rick Magnuson reveals some outlandish details. [The full audio of Brooke Mueller's 911 call has been released and can be heard here.]
On December 25th, Aspen police issued a press release stating
“On Friday, December 25, 2009 at 8:34AM the Aspen Pitkin County Communications Center received a 911 call regarding a domestic violence situation at 320 West Hallam Street, Aspen, Colorado. Officers from the Aspen Police Department responded immediately to the scene and upon arrival investigated the incident. Officer Rick Magnuson placed Carlos Irwin Estevez , also known as Charlie Sheen, 44, of Encino, California under arrest for Second Degree Assault, a class four felony, Menacing, a class five felony and Criminal Mischief, a class one misdemeanor. All charges are coupled with a domestic violence component. Mr. Sheen is being held with no bond. Aspen Ambulance responded to the scene, the victim did not require transport to the hospital.”
The man who arrested Charlie Sheen has had his share of media coverage. Rick Magnuson, an Aspen Colorado police officer and aspiring artist, ran for Sherrif of Pitkin County, CO in 2006 and vowed, if elected, to employ undercover officers in order to be tougher in the so-called “war on drugs” than the presiding Sherrif Bob Braudis, whom he lost to by a near 10 to 1 margin.
In 2006, Magnuson was reprimanded by his department after he wrote letters to Osama bin laden and George W. Bush as as part of an “art project”. CBS News reported that “the Counter Terrorism Unit of Union County, N.J. complained in December 2002 that it spent a lot of time and money investigating a letter addressed to bin Laden that they had received.”
The return envelopes, which Magnuson posts photos of on his website, included phony addresses along with bizzare and vulgar titles, such as “George Bush, Ashes To Ashes, York Beach, ME 03910″ “George Bush 65% approval rating”, “Osama bin Laden Uses Prostitutes”, “George Bush Novis Ordo Seculorum”, “Osama bin Laden Does Anybody Remember Laughter?“, ”George Bush What Have I Become?” Osama bin Laden Suck My [expletive]“, “George Bush All Art Is About Sex” “Osama bin Laden 8 Miles and Running“ “George Bush Hard Knock Life Lane” “George Bush $1000 lesbians Houston TX”
His art once appeared in an art show in Aspen, with Magnuson’s website listing an index of press coverage he has recieved, primiarily regarding his quirky run for sherrif.
Aspen Times and CBS News reported that in one of his purported art videos, the police officer was “masturbating in the desert”. He defended his actions in the video as artful in a Fox TV news report, wit the female anchor reporting “the tape shows a Sherrif’s candidate committing what some call a lewd act”. Youtube, despite it’s supposed strict policies, has not removed the video, which was posted under the username “thenewsheriff” in October 2006 and entitled “Hole”, described as “rick magnuson mojave desert video”. On his website, Magnuson describes it as “Hole- Daylong digging of hole in Mojave desert. Culminated by a symbolic reseeding of the earth.Ca. 2005”
When questioned during a televised election debate in 2006, Magnuson admitted using illegal drugs while employed in law enforcement, adding the caveat that he used them only once, in Amsterdam, where they were legal.
Magnuson also has what some might classify as a demeaning penchant for playing stunts and filming Mexican men whom he claims are in the country illegally. Additionally, in at least four of his youtube videos he hires who he refers to as “undocumented workers” to do various things.
