Marston Hefner, the 21-year-old son of Playboy don Hugh Hefner, was arrested in a Los Angeles suburb last night for allegedly assaulting Playmate Claire Sinclair.
Authorities confirm to E! News that shortly before 11 p.m., cops were called to the couple's Pasadena home after receiving a domestic-violence call. Sinclair suffered minor injuries, according to police, and Hefner was taken into custody without incident.
Hefner was charged with battery on a spouse and released a few hours later after posting a $20,000 bail. (Hefner and Sinclair were not married but under state law a "spouse" can be considered a cohabitant.)
No court date has been set yet.
Today, Sinclair took to Twitter to thank her supporters. "There's two types of pain in the world - pain that hurts you, and pain that makes you stronger. All of your positivity is giving me strength," she wrote.
Last night, shortly before the incident, Sinclair retweeted a photo of her attending a Grammy-themed fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion with Hugh Hefner and several other Playmates.
In it, she wrote: "Had so much fun with you guys xoxoRT @hughhefner."
The younger Hefner was not in the photo.
Sinclair admitted last year that's she's had a "tumultuous" relationship with Marston.
Marston is Hugh Hefner's third child, and his mother is 1988 Playmate of the Year Kimberley Conrad.
In 2008, he spoke to GQ about growing up next door to the Playboy Mansion, telling the magazine, "Well, as a 15-year-old kid, seeing naked people occasionally, that's—it's just the lifestyle of growing up as Hugh Hefner's son, in his shadow. It's not a boo-hoo sob story. But it's not the same as every other kid."
The dude looks like a serial killer.
Interesting piece of trivia: she was named Playmate of the Year AFTER she started dating Hef Jr.
she looks like Hef’s squeeze “Barbi” from many years back
He looks like an idiot with a long life of debauchery ahead of him
Guy on the left
He looks like the love child of Hugh Hefner and Martin Landau.
Anyway, Miss Clair, come over to my place (again!) and I’ll kiss your boo-boos and make them better.
He looks like a mix between Alfred E. Newman and Jack Nicholson in “The Shining.”
Guess young Hef found out I’ve been seeing Claire on the side. Front to...
Pencil-necked geek with crazy eyes.
Huge Jr must have not been paying attention during the discussion of “Hitting It”.
Dude looks like the love child of Wile E. Coyote and Caligula.
Bill Clinton’s love child with the Joker...
LOL!
“He looks like the love child of Hugh Hefner and Martin Landau”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

Weird face coming from such a hot mom. Of course it could be the photo.
Hugh Hefner’s son treating a woman disrespectfully? Color me shocked.
“He looks like the love child of Hugh Hefner and Martin Landau”
I think there is a Leon Spinks gene in there also. The teeth.
As you said, “Not that there is anything wrong with that.”
"Playmate of the Year"???
Should be more like "Playmutt of the Year".
What a pair to draw to.
