Artem Chigvintsev, the renowned pro dancer and former "Dancing with the Stars" contestant, is facing potential charges following his arrest on allegations of domestic violence. The Napa County Sheriff has recently handed over the case to the District Attorney's office, which is currently in the process of reviewing the evidence before making a decision.
According to Carlos Villatoro, the spokesperson for the Napa County District Attorney, no formal charges have been filed against Chigvintsev yet. The office is conducting a thorough review of the case, including examining witness statements, surveillance footage, and any other relevant information obtained by the police during their investigation.
The District Attorney's office will announce its decision regarding the charges once the review is complete. Chigvintsev's arraignment is scheduled for November 4, where he will be formally presented with the charges, if any are filed.
The incident leading to Chigvintsev's arrest took place last Thursday when he allegedly attacked his wife, Nikki Bella, resulting in visible injuries that triggered his apprehension. Chigvintsev initially called for medical assistance but later canceled the request, according to a radio dispatch call obtained by TMZ. Police responded to the scene and took him into custody.
In the aftermath of the incident, Nikki Bella has been seen without her wedding ring, indicating potential trouble in their two-year-long union. Sources close to the situation have revealed that she is actively seeking a divorce lawyer. The couple has a four-year-old son named Matteo, who is currently staying with Nikki in their family home, while Chigvintsev is said to be staying with a friend.
As the legal proceedings unfold, fans and industry insiders continue to follow the case closely, awaiting the District Attorney's decision on whether formal charges will be brought against Chigvintsev. The outcome could have significant implications for his personal life and professional career, as domestic violence allegations carry severe consequences in both realms.
