Hayden Panettiere’s father, Alan, has been released from custody on $50,000 bail.
The 49-year-old was arrested on Monday morning on suspicion of battery, after allegedly “striking” wife Lesley at their daughter’s charity dinner on Sunday evening.
According to the Los Angeles County sheriff’s department, Panettiere was arrested at around 3:15 a.m. Monday morning at his West Hollywood home, and spent around 10 hours in lock-up before the bail came through.
Panettiere was charged with felony domestic violence, after a verbal fight with wife Lesley, 52, turned physical.
The pair were seen arguing at daughter Hayden’s Whaleman Foundation Benefit Dinner by several on-lookers. Shortly after their fight, Alan is said to have struck his wife “one or two times on the cheek,” causing visible bruising.
One party observer said: “When they were both about to leave, they had a heated argument outside the restaurant. They were doing a good amount of yelling.”
At this stage, investigators believe that alcohol was involved in the incident.
