Hayden Panettiere’s Father Arrested for Spousal Abuse
Hayden Panettiere’s father might just need a hero to get him out of this predicament.
According to E! News, Alan Panettiere was arrested early Monday morning for allegedly hitting his wife, Lesley Panettiere. Sgt. Scott Wolf, a spokesperson for the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Department, said Hayden’s father got into an argument with Hayden’s mother and struck her on the left cheek up to two times with a closed fist.
The “Heroes” star’s mother called the police who arrive at the home and took her statement.
Reports claim that the spat occurred over a party the couple attended. Hayden’s dad is currently being held for $50,000 bail.
No word whether the 18-year-old star or her younger brother, Jansen Panettiere, were present during the altercation.
