The Police have released a report on what exactly happened to Hope Solo before her DUI arrest and according to the report, she passed out for over one hour before DUI arrest via US Weekly;
The former U.S. soccer player, 40, was caught allegedly driving under the influence on Thursday, March 31, in North Carolina. According to a report from the Winston-Salem Police Department, exclusively obtained by Us Weekly, a passerby noticed Solo had been “passed out behind [the] wheel for over [one] hour” before her arrest. The engine was reportedly running. When authorities woke her up, they allegedly noticed the scent of alcohol on her breath and that her eyes were red.
Solo refused to participate in field sobriety tests after attempting to contact a third party, and a search warrant was issued to obtain blood samples within 48 hours of her arrest. Us previously confirmed that the Dancing With the Stars alum was charged with impaired driving and resisting arrest. Because her 2-year-old twins, Lozen and Vittorio, were in the vehicle, she was also booked on misdemeanor child abuse.
After she was released from police custody, the retired athlete broke her silence on her arrest via Instagram.
“For those who have reached out showing love and support, thank you. Our family is strong and surrounded with love,” she wrote on Sunday, April 3. “Our kids are strong, intelligent, happy and vibrant, and we are present everyday giving them the best life possible. We will be able to share the facts in due time.”
The Washington native continued: “In the meantime, our kids are enjoying the NC sun, eating popsicles and playing on our property. Life can be tough, but these are truly the moments that matter. I feel blessed to have this kind of love in my life.”
And here is what Hope Solo’s attorney Rich Nichols had to say about her arrest.
“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, that the story is more sympathetic than the initial charges suggest, and that she looks forward to her opportunity to defend these charges.”
