Charlie Sheen said he has one speed ‘Go’ in one of infamous television interviews, but the speed dial in his car tells a different story in a pic he posted to his Twitter page.<\/p>\n

The crazed actor, 45, caused quite a stir as he arrived in Washington D.C. hitting 80mph as he was accompanied by police in a high speed dash to his latest stand up performance.<\/p>\n

In typical Sheen style, it was an unorthodox move and one which is to be the subject of an investigation by the D.C. police department.<\/p>\n

\"Top<\/p>\n

Top speed: Charlie Sheen’s Twitter shows his SUV flying through Washington D.C. at 80mph accompanied by a police escort<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Late<\/p>\n

Late arrivals: Sheen and his Goddess Natalie Kenley land in Washington after being held up in Los Angeles<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Two sport-utility vehicles carrying the late-arriving Sheen and his entourage to the city’s DAR Constitution Hall were escorted by two marked police police cars with emergency lights flashing and sirens wailing.<\/p>\n

And a photo posted on the actor\u2019s Twitter account shows they were travelling well above Washington’s speed limit.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The photo was accompanied by a tweet stating: ‘In car with Police escort in front and rear! Driving like someone’s about to deliver a baby! Cop car lights #Spinning!’<\/p>\n

The photo, taken inside the SUV in which Sheen was being chauffeured, shows the vehicle\u2019s speedometer hit 80 mph.<\/p>\n

Through the front windshield, the flashing blue and red lights of the lead police car can be seen.<\/p>\n

It’s not yet clear where the escort began, but the private jet carrying Sheen to Washington did not arrive until late in the day, so it’s possible the riotous convoy could have started at the airport.<\/p>\n

\"Investigation:<\/p>\n

Investigation: The actor’s entourage embarked on a high-speed dash to the show escorted by two police cars, but the matter is now being looked into by D.C. police<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

News reporters and photographers awaiting Sheen\u2019s arrival outside Constitution Hall also saw the escort. The show began 57 minutes late.<\/p>\n

According to political new site the Daily Caller, upon arrival Sheen said: ”I just landed. We had a police escort and we ran more red lights than Brooke Mueller heading to a pawn shop.’<\/p>\n

Police spokeswoman Gwendolyn Crump said: ‘”This escort was handled as a reimbursable detail. This means that the government was reimbursed for the services provided. This entire matter is under investigation.’<\/p>\n

On Tuesday Mr.Sheen was held up in Los Angeles with two court hearings, including a child-custody dispute with ex-wife Mueller.<\/p>\n

The judge handling his case denied him access to the twins, Bob and Max, he fathered with Mueller.<\/p>\n

The troubled actor appeared in Washington as part of his Violent Torpedo of Truth: Defeat is Not an Option tour and used the recent court battle as material during the show.<\/p>\n

\"Better<\/p>\n

Better late than never: Charlie Sheen arrives for his performance My Violent Torpedo Of Truth\/Death Is Not an Option<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

So far the stand-up show has become something of a car crash, with many of his shows interrupted by hecklers and his performance in the US capital was no different.<\/p>\n

He struggled through the gig amid catcalls and heckles, including one audience member who simply shouted: ‘Say something weird.’<\/p>\n

Sheen is now said to be bringing in an Australian radio presenter to help save the stage show, The Sydney Daily Telegraph reported.<\/p>\n

He has called on Scott Dooley – co-host of a breakfast show on Sydney radio station Nova – to be the on-stage moderator-interviewer for the revamped live show for at least the next week.<\/p>\n

The unlikely friendship blossomed last month, at the peak of Sheen’s globally publicised meltdown, when they made a short film together.<\/p>\n

Dooley said: ‘He’s called and asked me to be the moderator-interviewer for his Atlanta, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale shows and I’m going – I don’t know how long I’ll be with him because I have to get back to work.<\/p>\n

‘I have no idea what I’m meant to be doing but I’ll have to learn quickly as my flight arrives just before the show.’<\/p>\n

An out-of-the-blue call this week sparked the mercy mission.<\/p>\n

Sheen told Dooley: ‘The idea was for me to be truth-seeking and story-telling but after the first reviews I realized I’d done neither.<\/p>\n

‘But this tour has been a fr*****g odyssey; more intense than anything I have done that hasn’t involved crack.’<\/p>\n
