Hayden Panettiere's Dad Gets Busted for Domestic Abuse

How awful!

Hayden Panettiere’s father Alan was arrested this morning on allegations of spousal abuse, TMZ.com reports, and will face a felony count of domestic violence.

Police were called to their home in West Hollywood home at 3:00 a.m. after Alan hit his wife Lesley, leaving a visible mark on her cheek.  The smack down allegedly took place after Alan accused Lesley of “hanging” with someone and “disrespecting” him.

Lesley, despite urging by paramedics, allegedly refused to go to the hospital, but photos have been taken of the bruises.
