New footage released today shows the moment former US soccer star Hope Solo was yanked from her car by police on the night of her DWI arrest after she passed out behind the wheel with her two-year-old twins in the back.
Solo, 41, was arrested on March 31 after being discovered in her car in a Winston-Salem, North Carolina Walmart parking lot. Her two-year-old twins, Lozen and Vittorio, were in the backseat of the car, and the engine was still running.
The ex-USWNT goalkeeper was later convicted and hit with a 30-day prison-sentence, which she did not have to serve because of the month she spent in rehab following the incident.
The video from that night, published today by Queen City News, shows a police officer knocking on the driver's window of the car before a startled Solo responds 'Oh, my God'.
She is asked: “Hi, can you open the door for me? Are you okay? People were kind of concerned you guys were out here sleeping and want to make sure you were okay.' Solo claims she had pulled over to 'take a nap'.
When asked how much she had to drink, the World Cup winner and two-time Olympic gold medalist says: 'It's OK if I...' before trailing off. She later responds to the same question 'I've had not' and 'I'm perfectly fine, thank you sir', adding that she has had 'zero alcohol' while scrolling through her phone.
'I was just trying to take a nap because I’m so f***ing tired from driving. Yeah, I, I mean, I pulled over in a Walmart parking lot to take a nap. I have no idea why he’s here, but hang on,' Solo says in a phone call.

Solo is later handcuffed after continuing to tell officers she was simply napping and declining to submit to tests.
