Solo..

 

Former U.S. soccer star Hope Solo pleaded guilty to DWI and received a suspended sentence and a fine after she was arrested in North Carolina earlier this year.

Solo, 40, was found at a shopping center parking lot passed out behind the wheel of a vehicle with her 2-year-old twins inside. She was also charged with child abuse and resisting an officer in connection with the March 31 incident.  

Solo received a suspended sentence of 24 months and an active sentence of 30 days, the Forsyth County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release. She was given 30 days credit for time she spent in an in-patient rehab facility and was ordered to pay $2,500 in fines and a $600 fee for the cost of lab tests.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist was also arrested in 2014 in a domestic violence incident with her sister and her nephew in Washington state. However, the charges were dropped in 2018 after a lengthy appeals process.

She left the national team following its 2016 exit from the Rio Olympics. She was suspended by U.S. Soccer for six months following the fallout from a match with Sweden.

Solo was the 2009 U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year. Just a thought.
