Retired Olympic gymnast legend Mary Lou Retton was arrested earlier this month in West Virginia on a DUI charge, according to court records.

Retton, 57, was charged May 17 with one count of driving under the influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or drugs, according to court records for the state's Marion County. She was released from jail after posting a personal recognizance bond of $1,500, Fox News reported Monday.

In 2023, Retton was diagnosed with a "rare form of pneumonia," which her family said she was "fighting for her life." She was in an intensive care unit for a period of time.

"This is serious, and this is life, and I’m so grateful to be here," Retton said on NBC’s "Today" show in 2024. "I am blessed to be here because there was a time when they were about to put me on life support."

Retton won a gold, two silver, and two bronze medals for gymnastics at the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles when she was 16 years old and was nicknamed "America’s sweetheart." 

After retiring from gymnastics, she became a motivational speaker and talked about the benefits of proper nutrition and exercise, and served on the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports under former President George W. Bush.
