Hope Solo was arrested on Thursday in North Carolina, according to a police statement given to HollywoodLife by the Winston-Salem Police Department.

Officers with the department cuffed the retired soccer star “in the parking lot of a business located at 3475 Parkway Village Circle in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.” Hope (aka Hope Amelia Stevens, 40) was charged with Impaired Driving (DWI), Resisting Arrest, and misdemeanor Child Abuse.

The latter charge was due to Hope, who is married to former NFL tight end Jerramy Stevens, having her and Jerramy’s twins – 2-year-old Lozen and Vitto – in the car with her at the time of the alleged DWI. “Ms.

Stevens was processed and subsequently released from the Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center. Based on the impending prosecution, no further information will be released regarding this arrest,” said the Winston-Salem Police Department’s statement. Hope subsequently tweeted out a message from her lawyer, Rich Nichols: “On the advice of counsel, Hope can’t speak about this situation, but she wants everyone to know that her kids are her life, that she was released immediately and is now at home with her family.” Hope’s lawyer also added that “the story is more sympathetic than the initial charges suggest, and that she looks forward to her opportunity to defend these charges.” Related Gallery Hope was arrested in 2014 over an alleged domestic violence incident against her sister and nephew.
