Artem Chigvintsev hopeful about returning to Dancing with the Stars following domestic violence arrest


Artem Chigvintsev is hopeful about returning to Dancing with the Stars following his domestic violence arrest after an altercation with now-estranged wife Nikki Garcia.

In Garcia's, 40, restraining order against Chigvintsev, she claimed he got cut from Dancing with the Stars season 33 a week before his arrest, and began working a construction job she says he felt 'was beneath him.' Chigvintsev was arrested August 29 in Yountville, California in connection with domestic violence, but prosecutors in Napa County ultimately decided against filing criminal charges in the case. In legal documents obtained by DailyMail.com and filed October 31 in Napa Superior Court, DWTS pro Chigvintsev - who was axed from the show's latest season - says the trauma of the arrest and false allegations led to him losing substantial income.
