Former Olympian Mary Lou Retton was arrested and charged with driving under the influence on May 17 in West Virginia, with news of the incident only recently coming to light. The report surprised many given Retton’s longtime public association with health and physical fitness.
As with any such case, the charge is an allegation, and Retton is entitled to the presumption of innocence as the legal process unfolds. The matter will be resolved through the courts, and until then the details remain limited to the arrest itself.
