More details into soccer star Hope Solo’s arrest over the weekend on domestic violence charges have emerged online, along with the 911 call a man from the house where the incident occurred made. Admittedly, Solo just went “psychotic, beating people up.”

Solo was taken into custody over the weekend in Kirkland at her family’s house, when she became violent at a family gathering and attacked her 17-year-old nephew and her sister. When police arrived at the scene after the 911 disturbance call available below, they found the nephew and the sister with injuries on their bodies, which confirmed eyewitness accounts that Solo had instigated the attack.

At the same time, she seemed “confused” and “intoxicated,” and police could not determine what had caused the violent episode. TMZ is now reporting that the nephew pulled a gun on her, but only after she’d already turned violent.

The 17-year-old boy told the police that Solo showed up at the house after missing a flight, already pretty furious. At one point, she thought she’d heard him bad-mouthing her, so they got into an argument which ended with her telling him he’d never be a pro-athlete because he was “too fat and crazy.”

He told her to get out of his house (in less polite terms), and she attacked him.

“I then went into a back room and got an old gun that does not work, pointed it at her and she kept coming at me. She didn't leave but walked around me cornering me like a shark,” the teen told the police. The gun was a BB gun.

Solo also attacked the boy’s mother, her sister, who had stepped in to try and break the fight but to very little success. As per the teen’s account, he tried to stop the soccer star in whichever way possible, including by grabbing “a broomstick and began hitting her in the head... but she kept coming.”

On the 911 call, you can hear a man, presumably the teen, saying that “Hope Solo is going psychotic... she's [expletive]ing beating people up! We need help!”

Solo has been released from custody since the arrest and has pled not guilty to charges of domestic assault. She told the court that she was the victim in this most recent incident, not the two people she allegedly attacked so violently and without provocation.

Hope Solo is yet to comment on her most recent brush with the law to the media.
