Former United States women's national soccer team goaltender Hope Solo released a statement after she was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest.
Per TMZ Sports, Solo was charged with impaired driving (DWI), resisting arrest and also misdemeanor child abuse because her two children were in the car. She was arrested in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and taken to Forsyth County jail.
Rich Nichols, Solo's attorney, emailed this statement to CNN:
"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.
