Michael Avenatti will not face felony domestic violence charges over an incident involving Estonian actress Mareli Miniutti at an upscale Los Angeles apartment building this month, authorities announced Wednesday.

Avenatti had been accused by Miniutti, with whom he had lived since January, of physically hurting her during an argument on Nov. 13. Their fight, allegedly over money, reportedly spilled into the lobby of their apartment complex and resulted in Avenatti being arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department.
