Japanese Arrest Warrant Issued for Panettiere

Hayden Panettiere is a wanted woman -- Japanese authorities have issued an arrest warrant for her.
The 18-year-old "Heroes" actress violently clashed with Japanese fishermen in October as she tried to save hundreds of dolphins from slaughter.
The star was almost stabbed by fishing hooks aimed at the protestors during the protest, but felt compelled to show her opposition to the mass killing, which turned the sea red with blood.
And now Panettiere is wanted by Japanese police.
She tells E! News, "I learned that they have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan."
She adds of the incident's repercussions, "Potentially jail, but I doubt it. ... I guess they could come here and get us, but probably not."
