Artem Chigvintsev Responds After Nikki Garcia Says He Attacked Her
What else have authorities said about Artem Chigvintsev’s arrest?
While NBC News reported that Chigvintsev had been arrested in Yountville (California), Wofford did not disclose the exact location because the alleged victim requested privacy. He added that the Sheriff will not release the name, age, or gender of the alleged victims or their relationship to Chigvintsev due to the request of the victim. Wofford had this to say, however, about the arrest. “When someone is accused of felony domestic abuse, it usually means that there has been a visible injury to the victim or a credible eyewitness,” Wofford told E! Wofford said that, although this may change if more evidence is presented, the deputies at the time felt the charge was a felony, not a misdemeanor. He also explained why victims might choose to keep their personal information private. Some victims may feel threatened or embarrassed by the incident, and fear that it will affect their families. We must give victims enough time and support to make them feel that we are here to assist.
