Hayden Panettiere’s father Alan was arrested on Monday morning (August 11), after an argument broke out and he allegedly struck her mother, Lesley Vogel, in the face “one or two times,” authorities have stated.
According to Sgt Scott Wolf, spokesman for the West Hollywood Sherriff, “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.
Wolf added, “The mother called police shortly before 3 a.m., and Mr. Panettiere was taken into custody. He’s been cooperative. Earlier, they were at a party and the husband apparently felt disrespected by his wife.”
