Picabo Street, who won a gold medal in the women's Super-G at the 1998 Winter Olympics, faces misdemeanor charges in Utah after allegedly pushing her 76-year-old father down a flight of stairs.

According to reports, Street and her father Roland got into an argument at her Park City home on Dec. 23. Roland Street apparently "bumped his car into the house," according to a sheriff's affidavit. At some point, the argument spilled into the house, where it became physical. Picabo Street told police she "pushed her father down the stairs and locked him in the basement before calling police dispatch," according to KSL in Utah.

Roland Street told police he hit his head. He appeared to have cuts on his neck and elbow.

Street is expected to plead not guilty at a Feb. 16 court appearance, according to reports.
