Brooke Mueller: Spotted at Pawn Shop, Possibly Missing, Definitely Off the Rails

Charlie Sheen has gone off the rails, but Brooke Mueller is giving him a run for his money and then some. This new story about the ex-Mrs. Sheen is amazing. According to TMZ, Brooke walked into a pawn shop in Inglewood, Calif., yesterday morning, trying to hock an expensive men’s watch and a stereo. Real normal. An employee at the shop, Jack Feldman, says Brooke desperately wanted cash for the items, but the store did not oblige because she lacked a valid ID. Brooke Mueller at the Pawn Shop In the surveillance footage from the store, Brooke Mueller nervously and anxiously paces around the store while the employees check out the items. She certainly shouldn’t need cash – she’s getting $55,000 a month in child support ON TOP of the multi-million dollar divorce settlement from Charlie. Brooke’s mom is taking care of their twins. Thank goodness. Mueller has not been reached for comment, but her mom, Moira Fiore claims there’s an explanation for Brooke’s bizarre behavior in the pawn shop. Her daughter was probably selling off some stuff for a friend …. AS A FAVOR, Moira says. Likely story. Brooke’s friends say that’s BS – and she’s MIA! Seriously, no one knows where she is and her phone is off . Brooke’s mom is adamant that she knows where Brooke is, though when asked about Brooke’s drug use, she “didn’t know anything.” Stay tuned … UPDATE : Mueller has hours to resurface. She is scheduled to take a mandatory drug test at 6 p.m., and her child custody hangs in the balance. Charlie Sheen and Brooke each agreed to take random drug tests as a part of the custody settlement they hammered out earlier this year. If Brooke doesn’t show, the test will be considered failed by default. Several of Brooke’s friends fear she’s fallen off the wagon and she’s completely disappeared. We can only hope she’s alright and gets help.

Lenny Dykstra Arrested For Embezzlement … From His Own Bankrupt Estate

Former baseball all-star Lenny Dykstra was arrested last night after being targeted by federal agents for embezzling more than $400,000 … from himself. According to the U.S. Attorney in L.A. … Lenny arrested by local authorities and later charged with one felony count of embezzling from a bankrupt estate. Officials claim Dykstra, who filed for bankruptcy in 2009, “stole and destroyed more than $400,000 worth of property in the estate.” That sounds illegal! Who embezzles stuff from himself while under federal surveillance? Dykstra is not legally allowed to sell off any of the items that make up the bankrupt estate. The property must only be used to pay off debts to creditors. All transactions must be initiated by a court-appointed trustee. Needless to say, if law enforcement personnel are to be believed, that did not occur here. According to the criminal complaint, Len loaded up a ton of his expensive personal items into a U-Haul truck and sold them to an L.A. consignment store. Basically, he’s shadier than Brooke Mueller at a pawn shop . Officials say Dykstra was also trying to discretely sell some of the estate’s property on eBay and Craigslist … including valuable sports memorabilia. Dykstra is also accused of ripping out a $50,000 sink from his $18 million L.A. area mansion and installing it in his office in Camarillo. Very subtle. What’s more, before Lenny was hit with embezzlement charges, he was arrested last night for purchasing vehicles through fraudulent means. Dykstra had been targeted by authorities in an ongoing investigation and is being held on $500,000 bail. He faces up to five years in prison. A three-time All-Star, Dykstra hit .285 career with 285 stolen bases and won the 1986 World Series as a member of the New York Mets. He later went on to achieve considerable success in the financial industry, but that apparently went downhill pretty hard in recent years.
