Renowned American gymnast Mary Lou Retton was apprehended in her native West Virginia on misdemeanour charges of driving under the influence after police, responding to reports of erratic operation of a Porsche, noted the emanation of alcoholic odours and slurred speech following the traffic stop, further observing an open wine container in the passenger compartment; the 57-year-old, having failed field sobriety tests and subsequently refusing both roadside breathalyzer and blood alcohol content analysis, was released on a $1,500 bond, while her legal counsel, Edmund J. Rollo, has yet to issue a statement regarding the incident, which transpires in the wake of Retton's widely publicized recovery from a rare form of pneumonia in 2023 that necessitated intensive care treatment due to dangerously low oxygen saturation levels.
