Olympic gymnastics champion Mary Lou Retton was arrested for DUI earlier this month, according to records on the West Virginia Judiciary website.

The 57-year-old was charged with “driving under influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or drugs” on 17 May after police responded to reports of someone driving a Porsche erratically. According to the records, Retton was slurring her words when police stopped her, and officers saw a container of wine on the passenger seat of her car. She refused to take a breath test, and was released after posting a $1,500 bond.
