Mary Lou Retton Arrested for DUI in 2024

News summary

Mary Lou Retton, the former Olympic gymnastics champion, was arrested for non-aggravated DUI in West Virginia on May 17, 2024. Police found Retton in her car with a screw-top bottle of wine, and bodycam footage showed her struggling with sobriety tests and refusing to take a breath or blood test. During the arrest, she appeared distressed and mentioned her celebrity status, and was handcuffed around her oxygen tank, which she requires daily following a severe bout of pneumonia in 2023. Retton later pleaded no contest and was fined $100, a standard penalty for first-time DUI offenders in the area. She issued a public apology accepting responsibility, expressing remorse, and committing to positive changes while requesting privacy. The case has attracted attention due to her iconic Olympic legacy and recent health challenges.
