Hayden Panettiere’s Dad Arrested On Suspicion Of Spousal Assault

 

I just put up pictures of Hayden Panettiere hosting the Whaleman Foundation Benefit.  Well after the event things got ugly at home.

Hayden’s dad Alan Panettiere was arrested on suspicion of spousal assault, police confirmed to ET.

Alan Panettiere, 49, was taken into custody at around 3:00 a.m. in West Hollywood, according to a police booking report, which lists a bail amount of $50,000.

TMZ says Alan was upset because Lesley was “hanging” with someone at the event and he felt she was “disrespecting” him.

According to Lesley’s (Hayden’s mom) statement to Sheriffs, the couple went home, began arguing and he struck her in the cheek. Cops took pictures and there are visible marks.

Paramedics advised her she should go to the hospital but she refused. Alan did not give a statement to the police. It’s unclear if any of their kids were at the house at the time of the incident.
