Rich Nichols, Solo’s lawyer, released a statement on the former goalie’s social media.

“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,” the statement said.

Officials also confirmed that Solo “was processed and subsequently released” from the Forsyth County Law Enforcement Detention Center.

This is not the first time Solo had run-in with the law.
