FAIRMONT, W.Va. (WDTV/Gray News) - Former Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence in her home state of West Virginia.

Retton, 57, was charged May 17 with one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances or drugs, according to magistrate court records.

A judge gave Retton a $1,500 personal recognizance bond, court records state.

Retton made history during the 1984 Summer Olympics when she won the all-around gold medal in gymnastics, becoming the first American woman to accomplish the feat. She also won two silver medals and two bronze medals during the Olympics.

Happens every single day and tons of cases are tossed for no evidence or cops BS'ing the system.

Who cares that it happened to a gymnast who was famous for something over 40 years ago?

She gets a pass because her daughter was an LSU athlete.

She needs child neglect and abuse charges because her daughter was an LSU athlete.

I bet she didn’t even remove the Marlboro Light from her lips when she told the officer FU!

Yes, during Covid. Her daughter opened up a Go Fund Me page in order to pay for her hospital bills. I remember watching an interview (maybe YT) where she mentioned that she got stuck paying for her hospital bills because she "could not afford to pay monthly health insurance".

That being said and looking back at here successful career, I get the impression that she was not good with money management.

She blew a 1.0 BAC but the Russian judge lowered it to .6.
