Artem Chigvintsev Cleared of Domestic Violence Charges

The 'Dancing With the Stars' pro will not face prosecution after a thorough investigation by the Napa County District Attorney.

  • Artem Chigvintsev was arrested on August 29 on suspicion of felony domestic violence following an incident at his home.
  • The Napa County District Attorney's Office declined to file charges due to insufficient evidence to meet the 'beyond a reasonable doubt' standard.
  • Chigvintsev's wife, Nikki Garcia, filed for divorce on September 11 and is seeking sole custody of their 4-year-old son, Matteo.
  • Chigvintsev has responded by requesting joint custody and spousal support in the ongoing divorce proceedings.
  • The couple, who met on 'Dancing With the Stars' in 2017, had celebrated their second wedding anniversary just days before the incident.
