Venerated American gymnast Mary Lou Retton was apprehended in her West Virginian domicile on suspicion of operating a motor vehicle whilst under the influence, a misdemeanor offense. The arrest transpired on May 17th following a report of erratic vehicular maneuvers attributed to a Porsche. Law enforcement officials, upon intercepting Retton, discerned the emanation of alcoholic vapors, noted dysarthric articulation, and discovered an open container of vinous provenance in the passenger compartment. Retton, at the age of 57, demonstrably failed a field sobriety assessment, declined both a preliminary breath screening and subsequent phlebotomic analysis, and was thereafter released on a surety of $1,500. Counsel for the defense, Edmund J. Rollo, has thus far remained taciturn regarding the allegations. This imbroglio surfaces in the wake of revelations concerning Retton's convalescence from a rare and potentially lethal form of pneumonia in 2023, necessitating intensive care admission due to critically compromised arterial oxygen saturation.
