Following a brush with the law and reports that she'd harmed her children in Salt Lake City, Utah, Brooke Mueller has been hospitalized, according to the Utah Department of Public Safety.

The statement read, “On the morning of November 16, dispatchers with the Utah Department of Public Safety received a welfare check call from a woman claiming to be the mother of Brooke Mueller. Troopers with the Utah Highway Patrol responded to the welfare check call and located Mueller, her two children and a nanny on Interstate 15 near Nephi, Utah."

The statement continued, “The children are safe and will be released to family. Mueller was taken to an area hospital for evaluation. The State Bureau of Investigation is currently investigating the incident. We do not have any more information to release at this time.”

Yesterday we reported that Charlie Sheen's ex walked into a Salt Lake City bar barefoot with her twin sons, Bob and Max, and the family nanny, whom she got in a fight with, causing a call to the police.

Early Wednesday morning, the Salt Lake City Police Department was called again when a witness reported that a woman matching Mueller's description was beating her children at a car wash. The police later reported that the children were safe, explaining, “the boys are fine and with their nanny” after “Brooke went off of her medications.”

We hope she gets the help she needs ...

UPDATE: Charlie Sheen gave an official statement to People: “In the face of a roughshod and polar moment of unsanctioned divide, sanity and certainty were restored with grace and resolve."

The 51-year-old went on, “Immeasurable gratitude and love to a fellow yeoman of the apocalypse; sir Michael from that hamlet called Walters, need accept each and every Crimson palm-sting, as high fives rain upon his bitchen nobility, not just from this traveler, but from his safe and stable brood as well …"

Umm ... yeah ... Sounds like Charlie and Brooke deserve each other ...
