Police Lt. Rick Aversano told the Los Angeles Times that police were called Sunday to the Pasadena home and arrested Hefner after determining his girlfriend, 2011 Playboy Playmate of the Year Claire Sinclair (pictured), had minor injuries consistent with an assault.

Marston Hefner is one of two adult sons of the Playboy founder and his former wife, ex-Playmate Kimberly Conrad Hefner.

It was not clear whether he has hired an attorney. He could not be reached for comment, and the arrest was not addressed on the Twitter accounts of Hugh, Marston or brother Cooper Hefner.
