LOS ANGELES, June 2 (UPI) -- Actor Charlie Sheen is expected to plead no contest to misdemeanor assault and will be sentenced to 30 days in jail as part of the deal, E! News said Tuesday.

The "Two and a Half Men" star has previously denied his estranged wife Brooke's allegations that he assaulted and threatened her last December.

However, E! News said the 44-year-old actor plans to enter a no-contest plea at his scheduled hearing Monday in Aspen, Colo.

Sheen's attorney, Richard Cummins, hasn't returned calls seeking comment on the story, the Web site said.

Sheen and his wife are the parents of young twin sons.
