(CBS News) Charlie Sheen seems to be back up to his usual antics.

The former "Two and a Half Men" star, whose new series "Anger Management" premieres this month, reportedly  lost his temper after he was barred by Staples Center's no re-entry policy from  returning to the venue after he stepped out for a cigarette.

Michael Roth of AEG, which owns the Staples Center, told the Los Angeles Times that there are signs around the arena stating that once people exit the building, they are not allowed to return. In addition, he told the paper that there are places inside the arena where smoking is allowed.

Sheen was at the Staples Center for Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final. According to TMZ when he was denied re-entry he gave an expletive-filled protest that the celebrity website caught on tape.

Roth told the LA Times in reaction to Sheen's rant, "We regret that any patron would direct such abusive language at one of our employees."

Sheen's debacle comes on the heels of his feature in Rolling Stone, in which he admits he wasn't quite "winning" during his public meltdown last year.

Sheen's new FX series "Anger Management" premieres June 28.
