Hayden Panettiere's father Alan was released from custody yesterday (11.08.08) after being accused of hitting her mother.
Alan, who allegedly struck his wife Lesley "two or three times" in the face during an argument in the early hours of yesterday morning, spent around 10 hours in Los Angeles County sheriff's custody before being booked on a charge of domestic violence and released on $50,000 bail.
Steve Whitmore, a spokesperson for the West Hollywood Sheriff's Department, said: "We don't know if the victim is going to pursue the charges. Anytime there is a domestic allegation, the victim is offered an emergency protection order, basically a restraining order. She declined it. She also declined medical treatment.
"The victim did have visible injuries and we also believe alcohol was involved. That will be part of the investigation."
Alan and Lesley put on a united front following his release from custody.
The pair were seen laughing and smiling together while walking their dogs near their Los Angeles home.
Lesley covered her eyes with a large pair of white sunglasses, showing no sign of the alleged injuries.
