The press release noted that the decision not to file charges against Chigvintsev, 42, in connection to his August arrest was made “after a thorough review” of the investigation and “evaluation of the evidence” presented to the DA’s office. The Dancing With the Stars pro, 42, was released at 2:18 p.m. PT after being arrested in Napa County, California, on Thursday, August 29, Us Weekly can confirm.
