Charlie Sheen’s BUDDHIST neighbor Electra Schrock, 47, pleads not guilty to strangling actor at his Malibu apartment: Two and a Half Men star, 58, is ‘quite fearful’ after tussle ruptured stitches on his body

Charlie Sheen's blonde, divorced Buddhist neighbor has pleaded not guilty to assaulting the actor after he was allegedly strangled in his rented Malibu apartment.

Electra Schrock – born Poag – is officially charged with 'crime involving violence likely to cause serious bodily harm.' An initial charge of 'assault with a deadly weapon with violence' was dropped.

A court heard that Sheen is 'quite anxious' after the shocking incident on December 20.

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

Schrock stood in a closed room for defendants and said only a few words during her nine-minute hearing in Department 100 at the Van Nuys Superior Courthouse on Tuesday.

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

Prosecutors also requested a criminal protection order – commonly called a restraining order – which was approved by the judge.

“You are obligated to comply with this protective order,” Judge Reid told Schrock. 'Do you understand?'

“I do,” she said.

Sheen's concerned parents – 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 prior felony convictions.

Of the latest charges, he said: “It appears to be nothing more than an overflowing battery of crimes. There were no injuries. The victim was examined by a doctor, who stated that he (the victim) was doing well.”

He said prosecutors are “basically alleging that the suspect grabbed the neck area and grabbed him by the collar, which seems on the extremely low end of what has been submitted (by prosecutors).”

But prosecutor Nicole Flood told the court Sheen is “quite anxious” after the incident.

She also said that Sheen had some stitches on his body, and that one “came out” during the struggle with Schrock.

Flood also said a previous elder abuse case involving Schrock is currently “pending.” In June this year, she had pleaded no to the charge of 'elder/dependent adult cruelty'.

“The court should be aware that the defendant has a pending diversion case … an elder abuse charge,” Flood said.

'By the way, she was distracted when she committed this offense and assaulted the victim in the present case. We believe that this means that the suspect poses a danger.

“The victim is quite scared.”

Schrock works with children's charities. A close friend told DailyMail.com: 'Electra is an attractive, friendly woman who wouldn't hurt a fly. She is Buddhist. She is a peaceful person. She's being framed.'

The alleged assault occurred after Sheen heard a knock on the door and went to answer it before the suspect stormed into the home

A preliminary hearing in the case is scheduled for January 8.

Celebrities like Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Cindy Crawford, Robert Downey Jr., Halle Berry, Cher, Charlize Theron and Mel Gibson, who call the exclusive beach enclave of Malibu home, live in oceanfront homes or gated mansions with beautiful prospect.

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

In mid-2021, he rented another property in Malibu — a house at the time — for more than $16,000 a month.
