Police said the 32-year-old Olympic gold medallist appeared intoxicated and upset when they responded to reports of a disturbance at her home in Kirkland, where she was reportedly hosting a party.
Her sister and 17-year-old nephew were visibly injured, officers added.
Solo is being held in a local prison on two charges of domestic violence, according to the jail's registry.

if she has any previous , it's quite likely a custodial sentence will happen
I'll grab my coat..
Yes she's a bit of a... catch! Seems she's a bit...handy! Maybe she should play up front if she's such a good...striker!
(Can you get my coat as well please?)
I hope that she gets everything sorted, as she is a very good player.
Her level of quality as a player should have no bearing on any legal issue.
Should Lee Hughes and Marlon King have been leniently treated because they were pretty good at football?
Probablly
Of course not, I was just wishing her well in getting her life back on track, as it might be tough if she is found guilty, whilst also just saying that she is a very good player, legal issues and playing ability don't mix.
Hughes, King, Edmundo, etc etc, all had their troubles with the law, and came back to a degree, so there is still hope for her, if she is found guilty.
It dosent matter how high profile she is, if she has done this and is found guilty she deserves to do some time.
It doesn't matter if she is high profile or Joe Bloggs from down the road.
Do you wish Stuart Hall well, in getting his life back on track?
After all, he's a very well known broadcaster.
Who's Marta
I suspect that you're not taking the pee and geuinely don't know who Marta is.
Which made me laugh even harder at the irony of batdude's comment.
Marta is a Brazilian lady and probably the best female football player ever.

She's better than Fred and Tom cleverely, that's for sure ;-)
Thanks MP, I genuinely had no idea, I don't follow womens football whatsoever, so didn't know who this Marta was.
I thought Batdude had made a spelling mistake and was talking about Juan Mata.
Thanks.
Shocking usage of words, her playing ability is completely irrelevant to this situation. You hope she gets everything sorted because she's a very good player
It could just be me, but I'm finding it hard getting my head around your reasoning, if she weren't in your opinion a good footballer would you still wish she eventually got everything sorted in the event that she was found guilty, or is it purely because of who she is?
Not really. I used to post on a football site with a large American contingent and many feared she was going off the rails when I was on there. That was a good 2 years back.
Alex Morgan is also very high profile too,
To be fair, they weren't really that good, but the answer is no - she should not be treated any differently because she is high profile (ish). Assault is assault no matter who is involved.
I wouldn't bring Stuart Hall into the discussion though.
