There’s definitely a lot more to this story. If she’s a neighbor of Sheen’s, she’s not some random deranged fan or anything. This was in Malibu, which is very expensive and was very expensive before this latest real estate crisis. This is a wealthy woman who had some sort of personal issue with Sheen.

I’m not trying to defend her actions or anything, they were obviously inexcusable. I just think this goes beyond ‘random crazy person.’

Could very well be a random crazy rich person.

Poor people are “crazy”. Rich people are “eccentric” 😉

The more money you have, the longer it takes for others to realize your elevator stopped going up a long time ago.

Others realize it, they just don’t say or do anything about it because of either wanting a piece or fear of retribution that the wealthy can afford.

This is definitely true, but it’s not like rich people aren’t also dangerous, unhinged criminals lol

The simple glaring fact that you assume money==sanity makes your comment completely useless. Think on that.

Where did I say that?

The only part where I even discussed anything related to sanity was here:

If she’s a neighbor of Sheen’s, she’s not some random deranged fan or anything.

And I stand by that prediction that she is not a random deranged fan.

The only thing I care about is that her name is Electra Schrock.

I wondered if the weapon was a Taser or cattle prod… But it says “deadly weapon” so maybe it was some kind of custom supervillain lighting gun.⚡

Yes and she was eventually detained when her batteries ran out.

At which point the police were forced to charge her

With all the cocaine Sheen has done over the years a Taser would probably be lethal.

I tried to look up what she looked like, and there are loads of people with that name.

Like all the Schrock families out there all thought of the exact same joke.

That’s a pretty supervillain-like name, or henchwoman at least.

How can you have a name like that and not have it changed to remove the c and the r? Electra Shock

She will not be known for making good decisions, that’s for sure.
