Former United States women's national team star Hope Solo has been arrested after
she was found passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle with her 2-year-old twins inside in North Carolina, police said
According to the police report, Solo was arrested Thursday in the parking lot of a Winston-Salem mall
and charged with driving while impaired, resisting a public officer, and misdemeanor child abuse.
She has been released from jail and has a court date of June 28, the report indicated.
Rich Nichols, a Texas-based attorney who represents Solo, released a statement Friday but didn't respond to specific questions on the charges, and said his client wouldn't respond, either.
Solo was dismissed from the national team following the 2016 Olympics in Brazil after calling the Swedish team “cowards” for taking
a defensive stance against the defending gold medalists, ending a laudable playing career that was also marred by controversy.
