Hope Solo has reportedly been arrested.

According to TMZ, the legendary American soccer star was taken into custody in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on charges of impaired driving, resisting arrest and misdemeanor child abuse after she allegedly was found passed out in her vehicle.

Solo allegedly had her two kids in the vehicle at the time of her arrest. If convicted, the charges could result in serving time, according to the same report.

As I always say, Solo has every right in the world to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

That’s our system here in America, and we should all be thankful for it.

Having said that, this is a very bad look for Solo if she’s guilty of the charges. It’s an incredibly bad look for the American soccer star.

There is never a reason to drive under the influence. There’s not one damn reason to ever do it! Stay where you are, call an Uber or get a friend to pick you up.

Whatever you do, you don’t hop behind the wheel of a car. The fact her kids were allegedly with her at the time is incredibly concerning.
