Why was Artem Chigvintsev arrested?
Bella’s husband Chigvintsev was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence in Yountville, California.
Police responded to a report of domestic violence and, upon arrival, observed visible injuries, which prompted them to arrest Chigvintsev. As per AOL, The Napa County Sheriff’s Department took him into custody, booked him at the Napa County jail, and set his bail at $25,000.
Napa County Sheriff’s Office Officer Henry Wofford has stated that authorities haven’t released specific details about a recent domestic violence incident. It includes the cause of the altercation or the individuals involved. He explained that officers typically make a felony domestic violence arrest when they witness visible injuries, suggesting a serious altercation.
He mentioned this in an interview with Sky News. The investigation remains ongoing, and the case has yet to be reviewed by the District Attorney’s office, meaning no formal charges have been filed against Chigvintsev at this time.
