Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton was arrested earlier this month for DUI in West Virginia.  

The former Olympian was arrested in Marion County, W. Va., on May 17 for “driving under influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or drugs,” according to records posted online by the West Virginia Magistrate Court system. 

Retton, 57, is facing one misdemeanor count of DUI, and she posted $1,500 bond the same day of her arrest.

News of Retton’s arrest began circulating on Monday.

The gymnast made headlines in 2023 when her daughters announced Retton had been battling a rare form of pneumonia that had the Olympic great fighting for her life in a hospital ICU. 

Retton’s family asked for donations through a crowdfunding site, which raised $200,000 in a day.

She was eventually released from the hospital, and in an interview on “Today” in January 2024, she opened up about the health scare. 

“I am so grateful to be here. I am blessed to be here, because there was a time when they were about to put me on life support,” she said in the interview.

Retton became a household name in the 1980s after winning gold at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. 

She took home five medals during the Olympics in 1984, and that included the gold in the all-around competition — a first for any American woman.

Retton also captured two silver medals and two bronze medals that year, while also being named the Sportsperson of the Year by Sports Illustrated in 1984 for her performance at the Olympics. 

She was named to the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in 1997 and made appearances in movies and TV shows, including a 1993 episode of “Baywatch” and the 1994 film “Naked Gun 33 ¹/₃: The Final Insult.”
