Posted in: Arrest,Crime,Domestic Violence,You Tube - VIDEO

32 year old two time gold medal winning Olympic soccer goalie Hope Solo was arrested early Saturday morning in Seattle, Washington on domestic violence charges. According to police, Solo is allegedly accused of assaulting both her sister and nephew. The incident occurred just before 1 AM on Saturday when Kirkland police responded to a 911 call about a disturbance in the 10600 block of 124th Ave N.E. According to the Seattle Times, police officers reported who responded that they could see injuries on Solo’s 17-year-old nephew and Solo’s sister. After hearing statements from those involved, officers said they determined Solo was the primary aggressor and appeared to have instigated the assault.

Solo, 32, was arrested and booked into the South King County detention facility. She is being held without bail on two counts of investigation of fourth-degree domestic-violence assault. She will have a mandatory court appearance Monday at Kirkland Municipal Court.

“Hope is not guilty of any crime,” attorney Todd Maybrown said in an email. “In fact, our investigation reveals that Hope was assaulted and injured during this unfortunate incident. We look forward to the opportunity to present the true facts in court and to having this matter behind Hope very soon.”
