Hope Solo was arrested for a suspected DWI charge in North Carolina on March 31. Per TMZ, Solo was taken into custody in the parking lot of a Walmart in Winston-Salem, and also faced resisting arrest and misdemeanor child abuse charges. Police said her two children — whom she shares with former NFL player Jerramy Stevens — were in the car with her when she was arrested. She was booked into Forsyth County jail for processing.
In response to the charges, Solo’s lawyer Rich Nichols said in a statement that the “story is more sympathetic than the initial charges suggest, and that [Solo] looks forward to her opportunity to defend these charges.”
This isn’t the first time Solo has had a run-in with the law, either. She was previously arrested for domestic violence in June 2014 after getting into a physical altercation with her half-sister and nephew while inebriated. The charges were dropped in 2018, according to The Seattle Times. Solo was also suspended from the national team in 2015 after her husband was arrested while driving under the influence in the U.S. Soccer official team van, which she borrowed while in training camp, TMZ reported.
