Online jail records said Chigvintsev was arrested under section 273.5(a) of the California penal code – corporal injury to spouse.
The section covers traumatic injury to a current or former spouse, cohabitant or fellow parent in an act of domestic violence.
The offence can be charged either as a misdemeanour or a felony, the latter allowing for a sentence of up to four years in jail.
The star posted a $25,000 (£19,000) bond and was reportedly released later on Thursday afternoon.
It is not clear whether Chigvintsev’s wife is in any way involved.
Since 2014 Chigvintsev has been appearing regularly on Dancing With The Stars, the US version of Strictly.
In 2017 he was partnered with his future wife – WWE star Nikki Bella.
The pair have a son, who was born in 2020 just hours before Nikki’s twin sister Brie Bella announced the arrival of her second child.
The siblings starred in the E! reality show Total Bellas for five years.
