Is Hope Solo the next Tonya Harding? [View all]
I'm sure years from now this will be a funny story they tell their grandchildren.
Or not. 
Hope Solo involved in assault case before wedding
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.
