Dressed in a white shirt and black pants, Solo, booked under her married name, had little to say, other than “I do” when she was asked if she understood the two counts of fourth-degree domestic violence assault filed against her. Police responded to a 911 call from her suburban Seattle home early Saturday morning. A man, according to the police report, said that a woman would not stop “hitting people” or leave the house. The officers found Solo, who, they said, appeared “intoxicated and upset.” Her sister and nephew, according to the report had visible injuries. Solo’s lawyer, Todd Maybrown, told the court that his client was hit over the head with a broom handle. In an email Saturday, he wrote: “Hope is not guilty of any crime. In fact, our investigation reveals that Hope was assaulted and injured during this unfortunate incident. We look forward to the opportunity to present the true facts in court and to having this matter behind Hope very soon.”
