DV charges against Hope Solo dismissed, suspended 30 days from Team USA for belligerence toward police during separate incident

Story here. Excerpt:

'Domestic assault charges against U.S. women's soccer star Hope Solo were dismissed by a judge in Washington state on Tuesday, her attorney said.

"Today's decision brings closure to what has been one of the most difficult and emotionally draining times of my life," Solo said on Facebook. "I always had faith that once the facts of the case were presented, I would be cleared of all charges, and I am so happy and relieved to finally have it all behind me."

CNN affiliate KOMO reported that attorney Todd Maybrown successfully argued in court that he couldn't depose witnesses for the prosecution because they refused to be questioned despite a court order.

Solo, who holds the national team record for most shutouts, didn't appear in court. She was in Carson, California, at the squad's training camp in preparation for the upcoming World Cup.'

Hope Solo suspended following latest off-field incident:

'On Monday Solo's husband, former NFL player Jerramy Stevens, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Solo was in the car at the time and according to a TMZ report was "acting belligerently" toward police and was nearly arrested herself.

On Wednesday, U.S. Soccer suspended solo for 30 days, saying, "Hope made a poor decision that has resulted in a negative impact on U.S. Soccer and her teammates. We feel at this time it is best for her to step away from the team."

"In a sense it's the straw that broke the camel's back," Soccerwire.com editor Charles Boehm said. "I think there's real concern that she just can't stay out of trouble."'
