TMZ alleges that Artem, 42, was taken into custody at Napa County Jail on Thursday morning and booked on a felony domestic violence charge.

According to Page Six, Artem’s bail has been set at $25,000.
Just three days prior to his arrest, Artem celebrated his two-year wedding anniversary with Nikki, posting a heartfelt tribute to his wife on social media.

It is reported that Artem was not a part of the cast for the upcoming 33rd season of DWTS.
