Gahh! All is not well in one of the Heroes real-life household.. A few days ago, it was reported that Hayden Panettiere’s father, Alan, was arrested early morning at the family’s West Hollywood home for felony domestic violence. Sgt. Scott Wolf of the West Hollywood sheriffs confirmed to PEOPLE:

“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. The mother called police shortly before 3 a.m., and Mr. Panettiere was taken into custody. He’s been cooperative.”

So why did Hayden’s dad hit her mom Lesley? Sgt. Wolf revealed, “Earlier, they were at a party and the husband apparently felt disrespected by his wife.” Ooohh.. Juicy! Also, Alan Panettiere was arrested on the felony charge instead of a misdemeanor because “there were visible signs of injury” on 52-year-old Lesley Vogel’s face. Another sheriff’s spokesman, Steve Whitmore, told PEOPLE, “I can confirm that alcohol was involved in the incident.” Hayden Panettiere’s father has since been released on a $US50,000 ($A57,000) bail. The actress’ rep says:

“This is a private matter. We have no comment.”
