Hayden Panettiere's father has been charged with domestic violence after striking her mother Lesley thrice during a drunken bout yesterday. Alan Panettiere was arrested soon after the incident and is being held on a $50,000 bond.
A source at the Sheriff’s department said that Lesley turned down the chance to place a restraining order against Alan. "The victim did have visible injuries and we also believe alcohol was involved. That will be part of the investigation. But the victim declined medical treatment. We don't know if the victim is going to press charges. Anytime there is a domestic allegation, the victim is offered an emergency protection order, basically a restraining order. She declined it."
