Nikki Bella’s husband, Artem Chigvintsev, was arrested for felony corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant following a reported “medical emergency” at his home in Napa, California.
Corporal injury refers to any physical harm caused by the use of force that leads to a traumatic condition. The injury can range from minor to severe and may include bruises, sprains, fractures, cuts, internal bleeding, or concussions. The type of force used is irrelevant, and it doesn’t need to involve a weapon.
Below is the mug shot:
According to TMZ, the initial emergency call was made around 8:30 AM, but was later canceled by someone at the house before paramedics arrived. At 10 AM, Chigvintsev was arrested after visible injuries were observed on the alleged victim.
The alleged victim is cooperating with police, and investigators are now exploring whether there is a history of domestic violence involving Chigvintsev.
The Napa County Sheriff’s Office is in the process of gathering more information, including potential witness statements, and plans to discuss the case with prosecutors to consider possible criminal charges against Chigvintsev. The name of the alleged victim has not been released. The investigation is ongoing.
Artem was released from Napa County Jail after he posted a bail of $25,000.
After this incident, AEW World Champion Bryan Danielson (brother-in-law of Nikki Bella) has unfollowed Artem on Instagram. Artem still follows Bryan.
