The Winston-Salem Police Department said in a statement that police arrested Hope Amelia Stevens, or Hope Solo, on Thursday in the parking lot of a business in the city while she was inside the vehicle with her two children. After her arrest, Solo was processed and then released by Forsyth County Law Enforcement Center, according to police. Due to the impending prosecution, no other information about the arrest will be given at this time, police said in a statement. Rich Nichols, Solo’s lawyer, said in a statement sent to CNN via email: “On the lawyer’s advice, Hope can not talk about this situation, but wants everyone to know that her children are her life. that he was immediately released. and she is now at home with her family, that the story is more sympathetic than the original allegations suggest, and that she is looking forward to the opportunity to defend those allegations. “ In a statement posted on social media on Saturday, Solo, 40, thanked her supporters, saying: “Our family is strong and surrounded by love. Our children are strong, smart, happy and alive, and we are present daily to give them the best life possible. “ He added that he would be able to “share the facts in due course”. “Meanwhile, our kids are enjoying the NC sun, eating popcorn and playing on our property,” Solo said. “Life can be hard, but these are the moments that really matter. I feel blessed to have that kind of love in my life.” This is not the first time Solo has had a problem with the law. Solo was arrested in 2014 on charges of domestic violence after police said they attacked two of her relatives at a home near Seattle. The charges against Solo, who pleaded not guilty, were officially dropped in 2018.
