Brooke Mueller tries to pawn watch, stereo

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN Entertainment) - While Charlie Sheen is battling Warner Bros. on whether or not they really had a "discussion" on his possible return to "Two and a Half Men," soon-to-be ex-wife Brooke Mueller is unwittingly courting scandal by trying to pawn her things.

Brooke was spotted trying to pawn an expensive men's watch and a stereo. In a store surveillance video obtained by TMZ, Brooke can be seen anxiously pacing at the shop while a staff checks out the items.

Employee Jack Feldman told the site that she was desperate to exchange the items for cash, but the store would not make the purchase because she did not have a valid ID.

The 33-year-old actress, who gets $55,000 a month in child support from Charlie, was also said to be desperate for a drug-free friend's urine sample.

According to RadarOnline.com, she made a round of phone calls to friends around 6:15 a.m. Thursday to ask if they would give her urine samples because she needed to report to an L.A. testing facility for a random drug test.

A friend told the website, "Brooke admitted to relapsing. She hasn't been returning calls, which usually mean she's using. She's absolutely freaked out that this potential dirty test could result in her losing custody of their 2-year-old twins (Bob and Max) to Charlie."

It is unknown if she went to the testing facility.

Brooke has a custody agreement with Charlie that states the estranged couple, who both have histories of alcohol and cocaine addiction, need to remain drug-free.

Another source said, "There is a very real chance that Brooke could lose custody of the boys if the test does come back positive. Brooke knew that if she used drugs again, Charlie could get full custody of them."
