4/26 – Charlie Sheen Bails Out Lenny Dykstra

Charlie Sheen paid $22,500 to help bail former major league baseball star Lenny “Nails” Dykstra out of jail, according to a report from TMZ. Dykstra, 48, was being held on $150,000 bail after he was charged with bankruptcy fraud earlier this month. Sheen put forward 15% of the bail payment. Dykstra previously came to Sheen’s aid when he helped hire a lawyer to negotiate the actor’s return to the hit CBS and Warner Bros. comedy series Two and a Half Men after Sheen was fired from the sitcom in March. “The rendition guilty trolls that kidnapped my dear friend Nails clearly forgot that he’s a fellow Vatican assassin and his best pal is a warlock,” Sheen was quoted as saying. Federal Central District Magistrate Carla Woehrle released Dykstra on the bond and ordered him to seek treatment for substance abuse, CNN reported. Dykstra was arrested on April 14 in connection with allegations involving the purchase of vehicles through fraudulent means, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The recent federal case stems from a bankruptcy case Dykstra filed in July 2009. Prosecutors accused the former three-time MLB All-Star of selling or destroying $400,000 in property from his $18 million home in southern California without the permission of the bankruptcy trustee. Dykstra will return to court on May 16. He could face up to five years in a federal prison if convicted.Dykstra formerly wrote a subscription newsletter for TheStreet, according to TheStreet.
