Mary Lou Retton was charged with DUI earlier this month, TMZ Sports has confirmed.
Court records show the Olympic gold medalist was hit with the misdemeanor count in Marion County, West Virginia, following a May 17 arrest.
Further details surrounding the allegations against the 57-year-old were not made immediately available, though the records did state she was released from custody on a $1,500 bond.
Mary Lou has not yet publicly commented on the matter.
It’s the second time in roughly two years MLR has made headlines … back in late 2023, her lengthy battle with pneumonia terrified her fans.
You’ll recall, the former gymnast became so ill, she had to spend time in the ICU — and at one point, her daughter asked for prayers after Mary Lou suffered a “scary setback.”
She was able to ultimately recover … and in a January 2024 interview with Hoda Kotb she said her health had gotten so bad, she was nearly placed on life support.
A Spotfund created by her family to help her with medical bills raised nearly $500,000.
