Hope Solo arrested for alleged DWI with two kids in car

Hope Solo, the former goalie for the US Women's National Team, was arrested for alleged DWI in North Carolina on Thursday.

Police told TMZ that Solo, 40, was taken into custody in the parking lot of a Walmart in Winston-Salem, and processed in the Forsyth County jail.

Solo allegedly had two young kids in the car at the time. She is married to former NFL tight end Jerramy Stevens and they have 2-year-old twins. It was not immediately clear if it was the twins who were in the car with her at the time, but TMZ says it was "likely" the case.

"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 chargers," her lawyer, Rich Nichols, said in a statement that Solo tweeted out.

In addition to DWI, Solo is charged with resisting arrest and misdemeanor child abuse.

In 2014, Solo was arrested for alleged domestic violence against her sister and nephew while intoxicated. Those charges were dropped in 2018 after the city of Kirkland, Wash., ruled that the incident was “unlikely to recur.”

I wonder if she was headed to Arbys for a giant roast beef.....Anyway it's "curtains" for her.

A DWI is not the end of the world.

Dimwit! It is the end of the world for many when a drunk hits them head on.

Yet that did not happen.

From what I've read about sports people..............anytime they aren't on the field, they are drunk, drugged up, or raping some underage girl.

The Dems are VERY proud of them!!

When a drunk driver kills someone, it should be murder one. The second a drunk gets behind the wheel, it's premeditation.

 

[Paleman]

In this case, not yet anyway. Would you at least immerge from your coma long enough to admit that it has happened 1000's of times?

Sure it has happened, but not in this case.

You've had what, 15 of them?

Says a lot about your lack of moral character.

No, it says everything about the legal system in place.

In my state, kids in the car means Whisky plates for about a decade.
Meaning anyone driving the car is subject to random pull overs and mandatory breath samples.
Any family vehicle accessible to the offender will get those plates.
Also may require an ignition interlock paid at the cost of the offender, thousands in legal costs, and if qualifying for a B card rating can haunt your driving record up to twenty years.
Not the end of the of the world as so cheaply said, but screws you over for years.

Driving isn't a right, it's a privilege. People need to act like it on the road.

That goes for the damn phone users too.

The kids weren’t injured “this time.” But I’m hopeful that you can acknowledge that the risk they were exposed to was unjustifiable. So, would it be fair to say that the criminal charges of endangering those children (assuming she was indeed intoxicated) is appropriate?

And by the way, she also endangered the life and health of many other local motorists, too, if she was driving while drunk or impaired. Maybe additional charges should be considered on that basis? Do you agree?

No. He believes that "A DWI is not the end of the world."

I wonder how many users here have eve lost a loved one to a drunk driver.
