U.S. women's goalkeeper Hope Solo has apologized to her fans via social media
following her arrest for domestic violence last weekend.
Solo, who also plays for the Seattle Reign of the National Women's Soccer
League, posted her apology on her Facebook page and also posted a link to the
statement on her official Twitter account.
...
She is accused of assaulting her sister and 17-year-old nephew at her
sister's home in suburban Seattle early Saturday. Her lawyer claims the
goalkeeper was a victim in the altercation.
...
Solo's 17-year-old nephew told police she was upset and appeared to have been
drinking when she arrived at a family gathering. She and her nephew got into
a fistfight after arguing about his acting aspirations and she called him fat
and crazy, according to court documents. When the boy's mother tried to break
up the confrontation, Solo punched her in the face, the documents said.
...
The nephew broke a broom over Solo's head and the teen pointed a broken BB
gun at her and tried to get her to leave, the documents said.
