Charlie Sheen’s blonde divorcee Buddhist neighbor has pleaded not guilty to assaulting the actor after he was allegedly strangled at his rented Malibu apartment.

Electra Schrock – née Poag – is officially charged with ‘felony assault by means of force likely to produce great bodily injury.’ An initial charge of ‘assault with a deadly weapon with force’ was dropped. 

A court heard that Sheen is ‘quite fearful’ following the shocking incident on December 20.

Schrock, 47, was arrested shortly afterwards the same afternoon by Los Angeles County sheriffs at her rented 3rd floor two-bedroom apartment in the same complex where the Two and a Half Men star currently resides.

Standing in a glassed off area for defendants, Schrock said just a few words during her nine-minute arraignment hearing in Dept. 100 at Van Nuys Superior Courthouse on Tuesday.

Last night, she remained behind bars after Judge John Reid kept her bail amount at $75,000.

Prosecutors also requested a criminal protective order – commonly called a restraining order – which the judge approved.

‘You are required to follow this protective order,’ Judge Reid told Schrock. ‘Do you understand?’

‘I do,’ she said.

Sheen’s worried parents – The West Wing actor Martin Sheen, 83, and Janet, 79 – who also live in Malibu, rushed to check on their son shortly after the incident, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Schrock’s public defender, Randy Kaplan, told the court his client has two previous misdemeanor convictions.

Of the latest allegations, he said: ‘It doesn’t seem like anything more than an overfilled misdemeanor battery. There were no injuries. The victim was examined by a medical doctor who stated that he (the victim) was fine.’

He said prosecutors are ‘basically alleging the defendant had grabbed the neck area, grabbed him by the collar which seems on the extremely lower end of what has been filed (by prosecutors).’

But prosecutor Nicole Flood told the court Sheen is ‘quite fearful’ following the incident.

She also said that Sheen had some stitches on his body, and in the tussle with Schrock one had ‘come out.’

Flood also said that a previous elder abuse case involving Schrock is currently ‘pending.’ In June this year she had pled no to a charge of ‘Elder/Dependent Adult Cruelty.’

‘The court should be aware that the defendant is on a pending diversion case….an elder abuse charge,’ said Flood.

‘She was on diversion for that matter when she committed this offense and assaulted the victim in the present case. We believe that that means the defendant presents a danger.

‘The victim is quite fearful.’

Schrock works with children’s charities. A close friend told DailyMail.com: ‘Electra is an attractive, kind woman who wouldn’t hurt a fly. She’s a Buddhist. She’s a peaceful person. She’s being set up.’

Sheen is renting the Malibu condo after selling the last of his three Mulholland Estates mansions with Los Angeles city views in 2020.

In mid-2021 he was renting another property in Malibu – that time a house – for over $16,000 per month.
