Amid mounting criticism, it was unclear who had authorised the police escort on Tuesday to get Sheen to his show “Violent Torpedo of Truth: Defeat Is Not an Option” at DAR Constitution Hall. Sheen posted a photo on his Twitter account showing a police car with lights flashing as he was escorted from Dulles International Airport to the show.
“Citizens of the District don’t want to see their police force used to escort private citizens and that Charlie Sheen, of all people, is getting a personal escort,” Phil Mendelson, a District of Columbia councillor, said.
A police investigation has now been launched into why he was granted the motorcade.
