U.S. women's soccer star Hope Solo was arrested Friday night after an argument with relatives got ugly, The Seattle Times reported.
Cops described an 'out-of-control situation' at the Seattle-area house the soccer star shares with her husband, former NFL player Jerramy Stevens. Solo is reportedly being held without bail for two counts of investigation of domestic-violence assault.
Solo, who has made over 150 appearances for the U.S. women's national team and currently plays for the Seattle Reign in the NWSL, is accused of striking her sister and nephew.
'There was a big party going on at her house,' Kirkland police Lt. Mike Murray told the newspaper. 'It was an out-of-control situation.'
Murray also told The Seattle Times that both her sister and nephew had 'visible injuries.'
The goalkeeper has led the U.S. women's team to back-to-back Olympic titles (2008, 2012) and a runner-up finish in the 2011 Women's World Cup in Germany.
Solo's popularity as one of the biggest stars on the national team led to an appearance on ABC's hit show 'Dancing with the Stars.'
