TRIGGER.jpgA woman formerly married to "Two and a Half Men" actor Jon Cryer was arrested in Hermosa Beach on suspicion of abusing her 2-year-old son, police said today.

Sarah Louise Trigger, 40, was taken into custody at 8 a.m. Thursday at her Hermosa Beach home, Hermosa Beach police Detective Mick Gaglia said.

Trigger's currently estranged husband contacted police at 10:45 p.m. Wednesday to report that his son's neck had an injury.

Police and county Department of Children and Family Services workers went to Trigger's home, where she gave conflicting stories about the child's injury.

Trigger alleged that the injury was an accident, but did not provide clear details about what happened.

TMZ.com reported that the boy's neck had rope or cord marks and officers found a weapon that matched the marks.

Trigger was arrested on suspicion of child abuse and booked into the Hermosa Beach jail. Trigger was released on $100,000 bail.
 
Trigger has custody of her 9-year-old son from her marriage to Cryer. The boy was not home at the time of the incident and was not involved, Gaglia said.

Innocent until proven guilty. This ex-husband was living the high life off her until she filed for divorce. He then went after her because she is an ex-actress. I know her and her children well and she is an excellent mother.
