Will, 44, was arrested, booked and released on Saturday after posting a $150,000 bond, according to his booking sheet.

According to an internet report, Hayden's ex-girlfriend accused him of molesting their child, but Hayden refuted the claim, saying that his ex fabricated the story because she was upset about the breakup. Hayden reportedly says the daughter was interviewed by Child Protective Services and returned to his home.

Will is the founder and owner of Red Jacket Firearms in Baton Rouge. He and his shop were the focus of Discovery Channel's reality show Sons of Guns, in which he was the main gunsmith.
