Hayden Panettiere's boyfriend's arrest
Brian Hickerson, the on-again-off-again boyfriend of actress Hayden Panettiere, was involved in a bloody bar altercation at the Wild Wing Cafe in Greenville, South Carolina on September 12, less than a month after Panettiere, 36, was found dead in a Greenville apartment on August 16. Police said Hickerson's brother Zachary, who was 'highly intoxicated,' was arrested on a disorderly-conduct charge after yelling profanities, while Hickerson himself -- seen handcuffed and bloody in videos, throwing a bar stool -- was released without charges. In one video, Hickerson told his brother, 'GPD leaked it when my girlfriend died,' referencing the Greenville Police Department. Hickerson and Zachary had been the ones to call 911 and find Panettiere unresponsive on August 16; Hickerson later gave officers a bag of medication she had been taking, and did not become emotional, according to a police report, until she was declared dead.
