US Olympic hero Mary Lou Retton allegedly had a bottle of wine in Porsche, was slurring words during DUI arrest

Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton allegedly had a screw-top bottle of wine with her inside her Porsche when she was arrested for driving under the influence in West Virginia this month, newly released court documents reportedly show.

Authorities found the vino in the passenger seat of the former star gymnast’s car when they pulled her over on May 17 after she was spotted driving “all over the roadway,” according to court documents obtained by WDTV Tuesday.

The 57-year-old also reeked of booze and was slurring her words during the traffic stop, the docs alleged.
Retton was arrested in Marion County and is facing a misdemeanor charge of DUI.

The ex-athlete shot to stardom when she won five medals during the 1984 Olympics, including a gold in the all-around competition.

Police were initially alerted to a Porsche driving “all over the roadway” before officers found her car in a nearby AutoZone parking lot in the city of Fairmont, the court docs from WDTV state.

Retton refused a blood alcohol test, but performed three field sobriety tests that cops said showed she was impaired, according to the documents.

The gymnastic legend was diagnosed with a rare form of pneumonia and was fighting for her life in a hospital ICU in 2023, her family revealed at the time.

“I am so grateful to be here,” she later told “Today” in January 2024 after she was released from the hospital.

“I am blessed to be here, because there was a time when they were about to put me on life support.”

Retton, who’s in the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame, was released on $1,500 bond the same day of the arrest. 

This is a breaking story. Please check back for updates.
