Solo arrested for child abuse, DWI, and resisting arrest!
Solo is a 42-year-old woman living in NC. For 10+ years she played professional soccer and was the goalkeeper for the US Women’s National team. She is married and has twin girls, age 2.
Solo was an outstanding goalkeeper. Her teams won Olympic gold medals, the World Cup, and several championships in professional soccer.
However, Solo can’t keep out of trouble. She was arrested for assault in June 2014. She got into a fight with family members. She assaulted her half-sister. Her team suspended her for 1 game. Critics argued that male athletes received much stiffer penalties for committing acts of violence, especially domestic abuse.
Seven months later, January 2015, her husband Jerremy Stevens was arrested for driving drunk. He was driving the US National team bus in California. Solo was in the van and argued with the arresting officers. She was suspended from the team for 30 days. Her husband got 30 days in jail and 2 years of probation.
In March of 2022, Solo was arrested for DWI, resisting arrest and child abuse. She was found drunk in her car at a Winston-Salem, NC Walmart parking lot. Her twin girls were in the backseat. She refused the field sobriety test.
In July, Solo pleaded guilty in court. She received 30-day sentence which she can serve in a rehab facility. And she must pay $2,500 in fines. Child abuse and resisting arrest? Not one day in jail? Imagine what a 40-year-old man living in NC would have received if convicted of child abuse and resisting arrest????
Solo has endorsement deals with Gatorade, Nike, Seiko, and many others. The companies should end the contracts. Her actions and values are wrong and dangerous.
