"Son of Guns" reality star Will Hayden was arrested in East Baton Rouge, Louisiana Friday night for suspicion of molestation, FOX 411 reported.
Hayden, 44, who appears on the Discovery Channel reality series, was arrested Saturday for allegedly molesting his daughter, who he shared with an ex-girlfriend. The reality star was freed a day later after he posted a $150,000 bond.
The arrest came after Hayden's ex-girlfriend accused Hayden of molesting his own daughter. However, Hayden said that she only made the false accusation out of revenge for him ending their relationship. Hayden was also charged with a crime against nature.
"I believe [the allegations] are completely false," Frank Holthaus, Hayden's lawyer, told FOX 411.
The young child returned home after being interviewed by Child Protective Services. Hayden's oldest daughter, Stephanie Hayden, took to her Facebook page to defend her father and proclaim his innocence.
"This was a false allegation and unfortunately that's all it takes," she wrote. "My father is a good man, and ALL of his children love him very much and are truly sickened that a person would try to do this to our family. Its not right [sic]. You see the love we have for our family. The one thing that really hurts us is that my sister is heartbroken that anyone could think this of her father. It's a nightmare...please stand with us."
She also said that "there was never any impropriety in our home. He was and is a good father."
Hayden, who is a gunsmith, is the founder and owner of Red Jacket Firearms in Baton Rouge. "Sons of Guns" first aired in 2011, following the life of the Louisiana gun store. In 2009, Hayden was investigated by the U.S. Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms for having unregistered guns.
