Former Seattle Seahawk Jerramy Stevens was arrested in Manhattan Beach on suspicion of driving under the influence, police said Tuesday.

Stevens’ wife, U.S. Women’s National Team starting goalie Hope Solo, was a passenger in his car, but was not arrested, Manhattan Beach police Officer Stephanie Martin said.

The 35-year-old former football player was driving in the 3500 block of North Sepulveda Boulevard about 1:20 a.m. Monday when a Manhattan Beach police officer noticed his headlights were off.

Stevens, who lives in Kirkland, Wash., was pulled over and arrested based on his statements and the officer’s observations. He was released on $5,000 bail and ordered to appear at the Torrance courthouse on March 19.

Stevens has faced several problems with the law during the past 15 years, including arrests and convictions on reckless driving, hit-and-run and driving under the influence. He also has been arrested on punching bouncers, accused of holding loud parties that angered neighbors, and domestic violence involving Solo. The domestic violence case was dropped.

Stevens played for the Seahawks from 2002 to 2006. He then spent four years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Prosecutors in Washington last week dropped charges against Solo, 33, who was accused of beating her half-sister and a nephew.
