Judge dismisses domestic violence charges against Hope Solo

Source: LA Times

Washington state municipal court dismissed a pair of domestic violence charges against Hope Solo on Tuesday, ending an ugly affair that started when the soccer star was accused of attacking her nephew and half-sister last year.

A Kirkland, Wash., municipal judge dismissed the charges with prejudice around 1 p.m., according to court supervisor Erin Wheeler.

Solo's attorney, Todd Maybrown, filed a motion to dismiss, which was granted on Monday, according to Wheeler.

"From the beginning, I've stated that Hope was the victim of an assault in this case," Maybrown said in a statement. "With a careful review of the facts surrounding these matters, it is clear that Hope never should have faced charges in the first place."

Former NFL tight end Jerramy Stevens, who is married to US women’s soccer star Hope Solo, was reportedly arresting in Los Angeles this week for driving while under the influence. Solo was with him at the time, and she was apparently not all that cooperative with police.

According to TMZ, Stevens was pulled over just before 2:00 a.m. Monday morning when officers noticed him swerving on the road. Solo was reportedly “acting belligerent” during the stop and even pulled out her cell phone at one point to record the officers.
