Mary Lou Retton, a former Olympic gold medalist, was reportedly carrying a screw-top bottle of wine in her Porsche when she was apprehended for driving while intoxicated in West Virginia recently, as per sources.
Authorities found the vino in the passenger seat of the former star gymnast’s car when they pulled her over on May 17 after she was spotted driving “all over the roadway,” according to court documents obtained by WDTV this week.
The 57-year-old also reeked of booze and was slurring her words during the traffic stop, the docs alleged.
Retton was arrested in Marion County and is facing a misdemeanor charge of DUI.
The ex-athlete shot to stardom when she won five medals during the 1984 Olympics, including a gold in the all-around competition.
