LOS ANGELES -- Charlie Sheen's children were removed from his custody Tuesday after his estranged wife Brooke Mueller was granted a temporary restraining order against the actor after claiming he threatened her several times, entertainment website RadarOnline reported.
Sheen confirmed to NBC News late Tuesday night that the boys were taken from his home.
Mueller, 33, and Sheen, 45, have twin boys -- Bob and Max -- who turn two this month.
Her lawyer provided paperwork alleging several "specific, descriptive threats" made by Sheen -- and he was ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from Mueller.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge ordered the boys be removed from Sheen's care and returned to Mueller.
"My fangs are dripping tiger blood," Sheen told RadarOnline after police removed his children from his Beverly Hills mansion.
Earlier, RadarOnline reported that Sheen -- who has two daughters with former wife Denise Richards and an adult daughter from a previous relationship -- was seeking sole custody of Bob and Max.
"Charlie believes Brooke, at present, is not in a position to care for the children with the love and attention they need," a source told the entertainment site.
"He has consulted with a lawyer about what move he can take next."
The couple filed for divorce on Nov. 1 following a widely reported violent altercation between the two during a Christmas holiday to Aspen, Colo., in 2009. They wed in May 2008.
Sheen has been battling with his bosses at CBS at this week over their decision to shorten the current season of ?Two and a Half Men.? Production of the network?s hit show was suspended Friday, with producers citing Sheen?s ?statements, conduct and condition.?
Warner Bros. agreed to pay the crew of "Two and a Half Men" for half of the eight episodes that were canceled.
Sheen has garnered a flurry of media attention in recent days and appeared on numerous television and radio interviews.
The star joined Twitter on Tuesday, a day after his publicist, Stan Rosenfield, resigned. Though there are several fake Twitter accounts, this one has been verified as authentic by Twitter. Sheen had more than 500,000 followers by midnight ET. His Twitter bio: Unemployed Winner.
The first message he posted was a photo of himself and porn star Bree Olson smiling and holding up a bottle of chocolate milk and a fruit drink. It was subtitled, "Winning! Choose your vice."
