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 8:30 AM 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
10:40 AM, 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.
