Forget saving the cheerleader—someone better rescue her mom.

Heroes star and friend to the common man Hayden Panettiere's father, Alan, was arrested on a felony count of domestic violence early this morning. He allegedly hit his wife, Lesley Vogel, on the cheek, leaving a mark.

Police arrived at the Panettieres' West Hollywood residence at approximately three this morning, after the incident. According to Us Magazine, Alan had become upset earlier in the evening while the family attended a party at Eva Longoria's restaurant, Beso. Alan accused Lesley of "hanging" with someone else and "disrespecting" him.

Hanging? Disrespecting?

In related news, Hayden Panettiere's father is apparently a 14-year-old gangsta wannabe.

Quotables /
“Heroes star Hayden Panettiere's father, Alan, was arrested early Monday morning for allegedly battering his wife, Hayden's momager, Lesley Vogel.

"There was a domestic argument between the mother and father," Sgt. Scott Wolf of the West Hollywood sheriff’s said. "He got upset and struck the mother in the face one or two times on the left cheek which caused some bruising. 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."


Hours earlier, Hayden’s car, driven by Heroes costar/boyfriend Milo Ventimiglia, ran over a photographer’s foot outside Eva Longoria’s restaurant Beso in Los Angeles.”

“TMZ has a troubling story this morning claiming that Hayden Panettiere's dad has been arrested for alleged spousal abuse.

Holy crap. Well there’s nothing funny about this. Unless Alan was chasing Lesley around the kitchen and he took his belt off to hit her and then his pants fell down around his ankles. I bet if that happened both people would stop and then there’d be this funny pause and then they’d both start laughing and forget what they were even fighting about. When moments like that happen, I bet you’re all like, wow, life sure is funny sometimes.

DISRESPECTING UPDATE - Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Alan and Lesley Panettiere were at a party earlier in the evening. We're told Alan was upset because Lesley was "hanging" with someone at the shindig and he felt she was "disrespecting" him. Sources say, according to Lesley's statement to Sheriffs, the couple went home, began arguing and he struck her in the cheek. We're told cops took pictures and there are visible marks.”
