Hayden Panettiere<\/a>‘s boyfriend, Brian Hickerson<\/a>, seemed barely conscious after cops helped him get up from the floor in a bar … before placing him in handcuffs during his 2025 arrest.<\/p>\n TMZ obtained video from Brian’s shocking arrest in August of last year at Barney’s Beanery — a popular dive bar in West Hollywood — which shows more of the incident that began after employees tried to boot Brian from the bar.<\/p>\n Play video content<\/p>\n Our clips pick up after Brian’s already under the table … shoes off — lying on his back beneath a table set along the wall.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cops ultimately show up … and haul Brian to his feet and slap a pair of cuffs on him, at which time — for unclear reasons — he forcefully spits to his left.<\/p>\n While we don’t know whether he meant to spit at anyone or if he’s clearing his mouth, the spit heads toward one of the officers … and another — who is holding Brian — appears to say some tense words to him.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n As you know … officers then took Brian, who was hunkered down<\/a> underneath the table for a long time that afternoon, outside and arrested him — his first of two arrests<\/a> in L.A. that month. He later attended 10 Narcotics Anonymous meetings and the case against him was dismissed.<\/p>\n Of course, this doesn’t seem to have changed Brian’s behavior … because we learned 3 bars in South Carolina 86’d him<\/a> in the months before Hayden’s shocking death<\/a>.<\/p>\n Play video content<\/p>\n Brian was with Hayden on August 16 when she was found unresponsive<\/a>. Brian apparently tried to revive her<\/a> with Narcan … but he — and first responders — were unable to resuscitate her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hayden Panettiere’s Boyfriend Wild Arrest Footage Shows Him Stumbling, Spitting In Bar Published September 4, 2026 1:00 AM…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":836134,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[88],"class_list":["post-836133","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836133","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=836133"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836133\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/836134"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=836133"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=836133"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=836133"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"090326_Brian_Hickerson_at_Barneys_Beanery_getting_kicked_out](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/68f31f35e9214ce78294f22ca5636f3a_md.png\")
