Newlywed Jerramy Stevens arrested again

Former Huskies and Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens has reportedly been arrested again, this time for violation of probation, in Florida.

Debbie Carter, spokeswoman for the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, says the probation violation is from past possession of marijuana. Police arrested Stevens on Wednesday at his apartment in Tampa.

The Florida Department of Corrections explained that Stevens' probation for a 2010 arrest for possessing marijuana began on Oct. 23, 2012.

Stevens was arrested just two weeks ago at a pre-wedding party in Kirkland. Officers responding to the house party said they had probable cause to arrest Stevens because Hope Solo, Stevens' then-fiance, had a cut on her elbow and the two had been arguing.

Solo, an Olympic soccer star, attended Stevens' court hearing the following day before the pair was married later that evening.

Charges for the Nov. 12, 2012 arrest were dismissed.

While preparing for an exhibition soccer match in Portland on Tuesday, Solo told reporters she is happy and that she's "never been hit."

On Wednesday afternoon, Solo wrote on Twitter:

"I feel bad for all the ignorance in the world. People are so quick to judge. The media spins stories in such dramatic fashion. I will continue to show love, and never make judgements. I am blessed w True Love & the beautiful game of soccer. I wish everybody the same happiness."

Stevens is no stranger to the courtroom. In 1998, Stevens was arrested for second-degree assault armed with a deadly weapon and fourth-degree assault.

In 2000, Stevens was arrested for the sexual assault of a 19-year-old University of Washington freshman. Prosecutors declined to file rape charges because of insufficient evidence.

In 2001, Stevens pleaded guilty to hit-and-run and causing property damage to a building and was sentenced to 240 hours of community service.

In 2003, Medina Police stopped him for reckless driving and driving while intoxicated. He was fined $1,000 and was sentenced to two days in jail.

He has been arrested multiple times for marijuana possession, including in 2010.

More recently, in March of 2011, Stevens was arrested and charged with felony battery for punching two bouncers in a Tampa, Florida bar.

    First off...way to slide some politics in. Its ironic, however, (assuming you are a republican) that you can call Obama a liar when you voted for George Bush. I can't though...because if you say "they" are losing their country. If you're not an American, like your grammar would suggest, why do you care?

    you people figure out that it doesnt matter if you dont like the stories or not. If you don't like them, stop reading them. Why did you even click on the link in the first place? To complain? and Ron_Spins, are you here to save America? Do you put out a blog or write an article containing what you would consider 'America Building' content? No? then STFUU and STFD until you do...

    It's called ridicule. If we are to survive in the new America ruled by Jerry Springer Show contestants, those of us with brain cells left must entertain ourselves. The tomato throwing in the comment section is much more entertaining than the article. Who even cares about the dysfunctional dopes in the article, I click for the comments.

    is talking to you Paul Kersey? You seem to be confused about who my comment is directed at, since based on your own admission it has no bearing on you. But thanks for taking the time to reply to me, fella! for the record, it's not called ridicule, it's called being an a55hole. And why you complain about news like this brining our country down, you and your girlfriend AJ continue to miss the point, that people like you, and the way you act is what is really killing this country.

    Hope Solo catches everything coming at her. Jerramy Stevens can't catch anything to save his career. Both are big drama queens. Seems like a match made in heaven to me.

    Sorry, Hopey. That card can be played after one or maybe two arrests. But Jerramy Cantgetright has issues....other than a misspelled first name.
