One day after Aspen police released the report from the Christmas Day incident -- in which Charlie told a cop that his fight with Brooke started over the Train song "Drops of Jupiter" -- Brooke was deflecting like crazy, pretending she had no idea what the photogs were talking about. 

Brooke's mom, on the other hand, called the Train story, "Silly."

Brooke did answer questions about her kids ... and herself ... telling photogs that she's still a "happy camper."

The Aspen Police Department just released the full police report from the incident, in which the arresting officer states that Charlie explained what happened before the alleged assault.

In the report the officer states, "[Sheen] ... explained that he and the daughter share an affinity for both astronomy and the song 'Drops of Jupiter' from the band 'Train.'"

"[Sheen] added that he bought two tracking telescopes; one for his daughter and one for him so they could both look at the same point in the universe at the same time, as a way of staying connected."

According to the report, Sheen told the officer that "Mueller was jealous of this relationship with his daughter. He stated that Mueller said, 'you have a song with you share with your daughter, but not one with me?'"

Sheen told the cops the argument escalated and they eventually started to "slap" at "each others hands or wrists."

Sheen was eventually arrested for 2nd degree assault, menacing, criminal mischief and domestic violence.
