Los Angeles (CNN) -- Charlie Sheen threatened to kill his estranged wife over the weekend, according to a declaration made in a restraining order against the actor. "I will cut your head off, put it in a box and send it to your mom," Brooke Mueller claims that Sheen told her Sunday night. The revelations were in a court document that resulted in a court order that removed Charlie Sheen's twin boys from his home. In an interview with NBC's "Today Show," Sheen denied that he threatened her. The quote against him was fabricated, he said, calling the allegation "colorful."
