In one of the stranger stories of the year, U.S. women's national soccer team goalie Hope Solo and her fiancé, former Seattle Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens, were involved in an alteration the night before their wedding that left Stevens in jail.
According to police, the wedding plans for the two are up in the air after the incident.
Early Monday morning Stevens was arrested for fourth-degree domestic violence assault, but no charges were filed. On Tuesday morning Stevens was released after the judge ruled that there was no evidence connecting him to the disturbance, according to SeattlePI.com.
Judge Michael Lambo said he didn't find "any evidence connecting Mr. Stevens with an assault," according to the report.
Kirkland police were investigating the case, and said that if other evidence was found, charges could be brought against Stevens, a police spokesman told the Associated Press.
"If officers find that an assault may have taken place, then we have to make an arrest on who we determine is the primary aggressor," said Kirkland Police Lt. Mike Murray to the Associated Press.
According to King Country records, Stevens, 33, and Solo, 31, applied for a marriage license on Thursday. The two have been in a relationship for over two months and were set to get married on Tuesday.
According to the Associated Press, "In the police report, Stevens said he and Solo had been arguing over whether they would live in Washington or Florida after the marriage."
According to NFL.com, "Stevens was arrested on suspicion of fourth-degree domestic violence assault after authorities responded to a fight involving Solo's older brother, Marcus, who allegedly used a "stun gun" on a group of uninvited men who descended on a party at the residence, according to the police report."
According to the report, Solo's brother Marcus called police to the home early Monday morning. When the police were ready to t leave the area, Solo appeared with blood on her elbow, according to the report. "Don't say anything to them, Marcus," she reportedly yelled at her brother.
When police arrived the uninvited guests had left, but according to SeattlePI.com, there were "drops of blood inside the house, and there was a woman laying on the kitchen floor with a hip injury."
Stevens acknowledged that the couple was fighting about where to live and also said that blood on his cheek may have come from Solo kissing him.
Solo appeared in court on Tuesday, but did not make any comments to the press.
According to SeattlePI.com, officers were reported to have found parts of a shredded pillow around the bedroom and a trail of pillow strings leading downstairs, The officers spoke to Solo and her brother about the fight, but said both gave answers that were inconsistent.
Washington's domestic violence law says that someone must go to jail, which is one reason why Stevens was brought in. Solo did not give a written statement and police described her as argumentative and argumentative, according to the report.
Solo has dealt with controversy during her soccer career, but nothing involving law enforcement or arrests. She got into a dispute with her coach after she was benched during the 2007 World Cup and has also been very outspoken in recent years.
Stevens was the 28th pick in the 2002 NFL Draft by the Seahawks, but was mostly a bust for his career, He caught 45 receptions in a career-high 12 games in 2005 as Seattle made it to the Super Bowl, but he was largely ineffective for his career.
He has been in trouble with the law before as well, including in 2010 while playing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when he was arrested for marijuana possession. Stevens has also been arrested during college at the University of Washington for reckless driving and during his pro career for driving under the influence.
In his career he made 202 receptions for 2,217 yards and 22 touchdowns.
