A dancer who performed with celebrity guests on “Dancing with the Stars” was arrested in Northern California on Thursday on a charge of domestic violence, a Napa County sheriff’s spokesman said.
Napa County sheriff’s deputies arrested Artem Chigvintsev, who appeared in 12 seasons of the show, in Yountville after a 911 call around 10 a.m. reporting domestic violence, said the spokesman, Officer Henry Wofford.
Chigvintsev was booked on a charge of felony domestic violence, and bond was set at $25,000, Wofford said.
Chigvintsev was released Thursday afternoon, online jail records show.
Being booked does not mean he has been formally charged. The Napa County District Attorney’s Office will file any charges in the case, Wofford said.
A spokesman for the district attorney’s office said Thursday the office does not yet have the case and will review it once it is received.
It was not immediately clear whether Chigvintsev had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Details about the victim, any relationship and where the arrest took place were not released because of concerns about the victims’ privacy, Wofford said.
