Mary Lou Retton DUI Arrest Draws Public Attention
Bodycam footage released by Fairmont police shows former Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton struggling through a DUI arrest on May 17, 2025, in West Virginia. Retton appeared distressed, slurred her speech, and failed multiple sobriety tests, often referencing her Olympic career and recent severe health issues, including reliance on supplemental oxygen after a near-fatal pneumonia in 2023. Officers found a screw-top wine bottle in her car, and Retton refused a breathalyzer test, leading to her being charged with a first-time, non-aggravated DUI. She pled no contest and received a $100 fine. The widely circulated footage has sparked public debate, especially due to Retton's high profile and visible distress. The Fairmont City Police Department has not yet issued an official statement regarding the incident.
