The word order Subject Object Verb is allowed in the unmarked case, that is, in stylistically unmarked contexts with no special focus on any of the constituents. 

<br><br> This order can be used as a response to the question:
<i>What happened?</i>

<br><br>An example comes from Russian, where Subject Verb Object would also be unmarked (Olga Istomina p.c.):

<br><br><i>Maria kofe pjot’ </i>
<br>Mary coffee drinks
<br>'Mary drinks coffee'
