Artem Chigvintsev's Mug Shot Following Domestic Violence Arrest Revealed

Authorities have released Artem Chigvintsev's mug shot after his domestic violence arrest.

The Dancing With the Stars pro was taken into police custody on Aug. 29, according to booking records reviewed by E! News. He was charged with California penal code section 273.5 (a)PC—which is related to acts of violence against a spouse or other cohabitant—before being released on a $25,000 bail in Napa, California.

In a mug shot obtained by NBC News, Chigvintsev—who is married to Total Bellas alum Nikki Garcia—stared stoically into the camera while standing in front of a gray background. The 42-year-old had his beard grown out and wore what looked to be a brown button-down with a green plaid collar.

Neither Chigvintsev or Garcia, who share 4-year-old son Matteo, have publicly addressed his arrest. E! News has reached out to reps for both but has not yet heard back.  

Chigvintsev's arrest comes days after his second anniversary with Garcia, 40. The couple marked the occasion by sharing photos and footage from their 2022 wedding in Paris, with the ballroom dancer telling his wife, "You are my everything."

"Happy anniversary my love, can’t see my life with out you,"Chigvintsev wrote on Instagram Aug. 26, prompting Garcia to reply in the comments section, "Happy Anniversary Click. Love you so much!"

In her own Instagram post, the WWE Hall of Famer quoted lyrics from Elvis Presley's "Can’t Help Falling in Love." 

"This song is our love story," she wrote in the caption. "I’ll never forget where I was when I asked Jesus about Artem. Having a conversation with He & God. How my feelings felt too soon. It all felt too fast. And then this song came on."

Garcia added, "And that’s when I knew that I was falling in love with him and that it was all meant to be."
