HOPE SOLO |
Solo was booked – under her married name Hope Amelia Stevens – into the South County Correctional Entity Regional Jail at 4:15 a.m. and held on two counts of fourth-degree domestic violence, records showed.
She’ll remain in jail until her first court appearance on Monday, police said.
She was booked into the South King County lockup at 4:15 a.m. and held on two counts of fourth-degree domestic violence, jail records showed.
The 32-year-old Solo, who plays for the Seattle Reign of the National Women’s Soccer League was throwing a loud bash at the home she shares with hubby, and former Seattle Seahawks tight end, Jerramy Stevens, police told the Seattle Times.
Cops answered calls about loud noise and a possible domestic violence incident.
“There was a big party going on at her house,” Kirkland police Lt. Mike Murray said. “It was an out-of-control situation.”
Solo allegedly roughed up her sister and nephew.
“There were visible injuries on them,” Murray said.
Solo, who has won two gold medals playing for the US national team, is one of the most decorated and recognizable players in American soccer history.
But Solo is as well known for her bad-girl personal as her stellar play in goal.
Solo first caught America’s eye at the 2007 World Cup when she brazenly ripped coach Greg Ryan after a US loss to Brazil.
Even though she was the starting goalkeeper, Ryan inexplicably went with former starter, veteran Briana Scurry, for the Brazil match. That move led to a humiliating 4-0, semifinal loss for the US.
She was kicked off the team for her critical remarks, but Ryan was fired after the tournament.
Then on Nov. 12, 2012 Solo and then-boyfriend Stevens got into a spat that led to his arrest for domestic violence.
Stevens was released due to lack of evidence and the happy couple got married on Nov. 13.
Solo’s Seattle Reign will play without her on Sunday against the Western New York Flash in Rochester, a team rep said.
“We are aware of the situation,” US Soccer said in a statement. “At this point, we don’t have any further comments.”
With Solo between the sticks, USA beat France, 1-0, last weekend, marking the Washington native’s 71st international shutout. She’s tied, with Scurry, for the most clean sheets in US women’s soccer history.
The national squad begins play in October for qualification to next year’s women’s World Cup in Canada.
