Hope Solo, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, has been arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest while her two-year-old twins were in her car. She was detained in a Walmart parking lot in North Carolina on Thursday.
Solo posted a statement from her lawyer, Rich Nichols, on her Instagram on Friday afternoon.‘On the advice of counsel, Hope can’t speak about this situation, but she wants everyone to know that her kids are her life, that she was released immediately and is now at home with her family, that the story is more sympathetic than the initial charges suggest, and that she looks forward to her opportunity to defend these charges,’ Nichols stated.
Solo, who is married to former Seattle Seahawks tight end Jarramy Stevens, gave birth to her twins in 2020. She has had multiple prior arrests. In 2014, she allegedly physically confronted her nephew, but the charges were dismissed as the 17-year-old boy and his mother, Solo’s half-sister, stopped cooperating.
Stevens was arrested shortly before their wedding in a disturbance involving Solo. He was not charged. The US Anti-Doping Agency issued a public warning to Solo in 2012 after her urine test came back positive for Canrenone, a steroid lactone that is banned.
