REPORTS ARE EMERGING that Hugh Hefner’s eldest son has been arrested for allegedly attacking his girlfriend.

Gossip site TMZ says that Marston Hefner (21) was arrested after police were called to the home he shares with Claire Sinclair (20).

It is alleged the couple got into an argument and Marston was arrested and taken to a police station before being released on bail.

ABC News says that the police found Sinclair had “minor injuries” while the Pasadena Star News says that she sought a restraining order against Hefner after his arrest. It is not known if it was granted.

Sinclair, who was Playmate of the Year in 2011, and Hefner have been in a relationship since 2010.

Sinclair tweeted yesterday:
