Dancing With The Stars Pro Artem Chigvintsev was arrested on charges of felony domestic battery. Chigvintsev is the husband of WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Garcia (Nikki Bella).

TMZ is reporting that a representative for the Napa County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that police responded to a domestic violence call in Yountville shortly after 10:00 AM local time on Thursday.

After interviews were conducted, an arrest was made at the scene. It is said that injuries are involved.

At around 8:30 AM PST on Thursday, a call was made from the home of Chigvintsev and his wife, WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Garcia (Nikki Bella), to report a “medical emergency.” As of this writing, there is no word on who made the call.

As paramedics and the fire department were en route, someone from the same house called 911 to cancel the request. At that point, paramedics and the fire department returned to their stations.

Police did arrive at the home, as per usual when someone calls 911. At 10:00 AM PST, Artem was arrested for felony corporal injury to spouse or cohabitant. For the arrest to be a felony, the injury must be visible.

Additionally, TMZ is reporting that the alleged victim in the case is cooperating with police. It is said that police are interested to know whether there’s a history of domestic violence between the two people involved. The victim in the case has asked for total confidentiality. So while we can’t and won’t name Nikki as the victim, you can draw your own conclusions here.

While the victim has been talking to law enforcement, they are planning follow-up interviews with both sides to see if there is a history of past incidents. Additionally, it is said that a child may have witnessed the incident.

Finally, Chigvintsev posted a $25,000 bail and was released from jail at 2:18 PM PST.

The investigation is still currently ongoing.
