Hayden Panettiere’s Boyfriend Arrested on Valentine’s Day

February 19, 2020

Brian Hickerson, the boyfriend of actress Hayden Panettiere, was reportedly arrested on Valentine’s Day for domestic assault.

Panettiere – who was previously engaged to boxer Wladimir Klitschko – was first linked to Hickerson, a real estate agent, in August 2018.

However, their relationship has since been fraught with turbulence – last May, Hickerson was arrested for domestic assault when he allegedly got into a physical altercation with the “Nashville” star. The charges were soon dismissed.

According to the Teton County Sheriff’s Office, Hickerson and Panettiere got into a fight in the early hours of Friday morning, 14 February, at their home in Jackson, Wyoming.

When the police arrived, Panettiere – whose face appeared red and swollen after allegedly being punched – told them that her boyfriend had beaten her.

Hickerson was charged with domestic battery, as well as for interfering with a police officer for allegedly refusing to identify himself. However, he has since been released from custody after posting a $50 000 bond.
