Hope Solo was arrested and charged with two counts of fourth-degree domestic violence assault after allegedly attacking her sister and nephew. Now Solo’s lawyer is saying that not only is she innocent, she was the victim.
“Hope is not guilty of any crime,” attorney Todd Maybrown said in an email to The Associated Press. “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.”
Police responded to a 911 call that a woman at the Kirkland residence was hitting people and that she refused to stop or leave, they claim a party was going on. Solo was reportedly intoxicated and her sister and nephew had visible injuries. Solo was booked and is expected to remain in jail until an appearance Monday at Kirkland Municipal Court.
