Famous Olympic athlete, Mary Lou Retton, was arrested and charged with DUI earlier in May 2025, according to publicly accessible court records.
According to court records obtained from the West Virginia Magistrate Court system, Retton, 57, was arrested on Saturday, May 17. She was charged with one count of “driving under influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or drugs.” That very same day, Retton posted her $1,500 bond.
The Guardian reported that police responded to reports of an individual driving their Porsche erratically. When police officers conducted a traffic stop, records show that Retton was slurring her words. Allegedly, a wine container was found on her vehicle’s passenger seat. Moreover, records show that she also refused to take a breath test.
