His trial is scheduled to begin July 21. If the star is convicted, he could serve one to three years in prison.

In the meantime, Sheen will go back to work filming his CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men on Tuesday, his rep told reporters outside the court. The star checked out of an undisclosed rehab facility early last week (his rep said he had admitted himself for "preventative measures").
