DWTS’ Artem ‘called 911’ but then called them off before alleged assault arrest

Dancing with the Stars pro Artem Chigvintsev, now facing felony domestic violence charges, made the 911 call himself after allegedly injuring someone in his home, per reports.
The incident occurred Thursday morning in Napa, California, where Artem lives with his wife, Nikki Garcia, better known as Nikki Bella.
Sources told TMZ that “the alleged victim never called 911—it was Artem who apparently panicked over injuries the alleged victim sustained,” and called emergency services around 8:30 AM.
However, just minutes later, Artem reportedly called 911 again, telling the dispatcher to “call the whole thing off.”
While paramedics and fire trucks were turned back, police still responded, as per protocol.
Officers arrived around 9:30 AM, observed injuries on the alleged victim, and proceeded to arrest Artem on the spot.
He was booked on charges of felony corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant.
The insiders close to the situation suggest that Artem was in a “bad mood” after Dancing with the Stars decided not to renew his contract this week.

Artem was released later on $25,000 bail.
