Hayden Panettiere says there is a warrant for her arrest

Hayden Panettiere has revealed that there is a warrant for her arrest in Japan - after she interfered in a dolphin hunt in the country last month.

Panettiere, 18, told E! News: "I learned that they have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan, we just found out."

According to Us Weekly, the warrant is for obstruction of commerce.

According to reports, the 'Heroes' star, along with other activists, attempted to block a pod of dolphins from being led into a nearby cove for massacre by fishermen in the Taiji, Southwestern Japan - on October 30.

The fishermen insisted hunting dolphins is a Japanese custom, and Panettiere had no business interfering.

In order to avoid arrest for trespassing by the Japanese national police, Panettiere claimed that she fled to the Japanese city of Osaka and left the country immediately.

However, she has revealed that she's not worried that there's a warrant for her arrest.

When E! asked what the warrant could mean for her, she quipped, "Potentially jail, but I doubt it."
