Kirkland, Wash. police have released the 911 tapes from the domestic altercation involving soccer star Hope Solo and her husband Jerramy Stevens the night before their wedding.
The incident occurred on Nov. 12, 2012 at Solo's home. Yahoo! Sports reports police who arrived at the scene found Solo with a bloody elbow; her brother, Marcus Solo, with head, eye and knee injures and another woman with hip injuries. Stevens was found upstairs; according to police he "appeared to be hiding." He countered he was sleeping.
Stevens was arrested for domestic violence, but was later released for lack of evidence. Stevens and Solo married later that day.
According to the 911 tape, it was Marcus Solo who made the call asking for help. He told the operator there had been an altercation where an innocent bystander got hurt, that they needed help and that he wouldn't go into details regarding who instigated the fight.
Here's a partial transcript of the call via the Seattle Press-Intelligencer
As of now the Kirkland police have completed their investigation and no charges have been filed.
Earlier reports of the incident claimed Hope Solo told her brother to "shut up" as he recounted what happened to police allegedly fearing Stevens, who has been arrested numerous times, would go to jail for a probation violation.
A few days after the incident Hope Solo defended her husband on Twitter blaming the media for "spinning" the incident.
