Hayden’s Dad Busted

Heroes star Hayden Panettiere’s dad, Alan, was arrested earlier this morning at their home in West Hollywood. People.com is reporting that he was taken in for felony domestic violence. He is currently in custody, with bail set at $50,000. Sargent Scott Wolf of the West Hollywood PD had this to say to the press regarding the situation: “There was a domestic argument between the mother and father. He got upset and struck the mother in the face one or two times on the left cheek which caused some bruising. From what I’m told, he hit her with a closed fist.” Alan was arrested and charged with a felony instead of a misdemeanor because of the visible injury on her face. Paramedics suggested that Lesley (Hayden’s mom) go to the hospital, but she refused. This is very disturbing and sad news. Let’s hope daddy Panettiere gets himself some much-needed help and counseling.
