TMZ had an update on the arrest of Artem Chigvintsev, the husband of WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Garcia.
According to the Napa County Sheriff’s office, deputies responded to a domestic violence call in the town of Yountville before 10AM yesterday. Chigvintsev was arrested at the scene as there were injuries visible on the victim.
The Sheriff’s office also said that the victim in this case has asked for confidentiality although the report said that he was arrested for “felony corporal injury to spouse or cohabitant.”
An earlier TMZ update stated that someone from the house that Artem and Nikki share called 911 for a medical emergency around 8:30AM but as paramedics and fire department were on the way, another call from the same house came in to cancel the request. The first responders turned around as requested and did not show up at the house.
Public records show that Chigvintsev was booked in jail at 10:40AM, 41 minutes after law enforcement officials responded to the call. The 42-year-old had a $25,000 bail, which was posted at 2:18PM yesterday so he spent just over 3 hours locked up.
The couple, who live in Napa Valley, have been married since 2022 and have a four-year-old son together.
Nikki is supposed to co-host a Netflix live event on Monday.
