Charlie Sheen's Plea Deal Stalled Over Time Off, Cigarettes, Soda and More

Nearly a month ago, Charlie Sheen tried to pave the way for nicotine-addicted criminals in Aspen, Colorado by pushing his attorney to fight for prisoner cigarette privileges. Despite Sheen and Co.'s arguments, the jail did not waver in its strict "nicotine patches only" rule. But then the Two and a Half Men actor worked out a plea deal in which he would spend 30 days in jail (less with good behavior) with a work release program, which meant that he would be off of jail premises and free to smoke as many Parliament Lights as his lungs can stand between 8 AM and 8 PM. Until Pitkin County's Jail Administrative Officer stepped in.

Let's go right to the TMZ report, shall we?

Beverly Campbell is Pitkin County's Jail Administrative Officer. We've learned ... on Monday, Campbell insinuated herself in the deal her boss -- the Sheriff himself -- signed off on. Campbell believes Charlie is not eligible for work release, but rather his daily get-out-of-jail pass should be something called "Useful Public Service (UPS)."

We're told Campbell believes under UPS, Charlie should only get out between the hours of 10 AM and 4 PM. Under the work release deal her boss signed, Charlie was supposed to get out between 8 AM and 8 PM.

Even worse, sources say Campbell believes under the UPS program Charlie has no right to eat, drink sodas, or smoke when he's working at the Aspen Theatre.

In the end, we're told Charlie's lawyer, Yale Galanter, refused to relent and pulled the plug.

TMZ also elaborated Monday on Sheen's theater-coaching plea deal, in which the actor would counsel actors for three plays: The Wonderettes, Three Little Pigs and Same Time Next Year. Meanwhile, his work-release program would have also demanded that he do meet-and-greets for the venue's fundraising and work with kids in a local theater group.
