I'm sure years from now this will be a funny story they tell their grandchildren.
Or not.
10:29PM EST November 13. 2012 - Disturbing details emerged when U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo appeared in court Tuesday in Kirkland, Wash., with her fiancee, Jerramy Stevens, a former NFL tight end, who was accused of striking Solo.

Based on Stevens' account that he had been arguing with Solo, the sign of an altercation in the bedroom, her injury and the blood on his shirt, police arrested Stevens on charges of fourth-degree domestic assault.
Stevens told the officer he and Solo had been fighting about whether they would live in Florida or Washington after their planned marriage on Tuesday, according to police. Court records show the two applied for a marriage license last Thursday, komonews.com reported.
Stevens, 33, has a lengthy history of run-ins with the law, dating to high school. He played football at the University of Washington (where Solo also competed) and was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks. In 2000, Stevens was arrested for the sexual assault of a 19-year-old University of Washington freshman. However, prosecutors declined to file rape charges because of insufficient evidence.

(12,081 posts)is the next Tonya Harding? Sounds like she knows how to defend herself when being domestically assaulted. Good for her.

(27,677 posts)An officer went into the house and found blood on the floor, another injured woman, and blood along a staircase handrail.
The officer reached an upstairs bedroom and found Stevens apparently hiding on the floor between a wall and bed, according to the report.
Stevens insisted he was sleeping, not hiding, and said he did not hear the fight.
According to the report, Stevens had dried blood on his shirt and cheek and there were signs of a fight in the bedroom. Stevens said the blood on his face was from a kiss from Hope, but he would not explain the blood on his shirt, police said.
