An Olympic gold medal winner is facing a misdemeanor charge after she was arrested in her West Virginia hometown.

Gymnastics icon Mary Lou Retton was charged with driving under the influence following her arrest in Fairmont on May 17. The Associated Press reported a person in a Porsche was driving erratically.

According to the criminal complaint, Retton smelled of alcohol and was slurring her words, and she failed a field sobriety test. Officers also reported observing a container of wine in the passenger seat, according to the Associated Press.

Retton, 57, was released after posting bond.

One of the true American legends of Olympic competition, Retton was 16 when she became the first American female gymnast to win the all-around at the 1984 games in Los Angeles.

She also won two silver and two bronze medals and is credited with helping to bring gymnastics into the mainstream in the United States.

Gymnastics remains among one of the most popular sports during the summer Olympics, often featuring in primetime coverage.

The U.S. has won every all-around gold medal since 2000 including Carly Patterson (2004), Nastia Liukin (2008), Gabby Douglas (2012), Simone Biles (2016, 2024) and Sunisa Lee (2021).
