Hope Solo arrested on DWI, child abuse charges
Former US Women’s National Soccer Team star Hope Solo was arrested on Thursday after she was allegedly driving while impaired with her children in the car.
According to a police report obtained by TMZ, Solo was pulled over in Winston-Salem, N.C., while driving with her two children. Officers suspected she was under the influence, and she was booked for DWI, resisting arrest and misdemeanor child abuse.
Solo, 40, has been in trouble with the law multiple times before. She faced troubling domestic violence allegations for an incident that took place in 2014. Solo was also accused of berating police officers during her husband Jerramy Stevens’ DUI arrest in 2015.
Solo and Stevens, a former NFL tight end, have been married since 2012. They have two children together — twins who just turned 2.
Solo was the goalkeeper of the US Women’s National Soccer Team from 2000-2016. She helped the team win two Olympic gold medals and the 2015 Women’s World Cup.
