The woman who locked herself in the bathroom during Charlie Sheen’s alleged hotel rampage last month filed a police report this week alleging that he choked her, said People.com. Capri Anderson said in an interview that she plans to sue for battery and false imprisonment, and that a crazed Sheen yelled racial slurs, threw a lamp at her, and choked her after snorting white powder. “It wasn’t until he put his hands around my neck that I really thought to myself, ‘You have gotten yourself in a bad, bad situation,’” she said. Sheen’s lawyer announced a countersuit for $1 million, calling Anderson “an opportunistic pornographic film star and publicity-hungry scam artist” who was engaged in “extortion.”
