Former Olympian Mary Lou Retton’s DUI arrest revealed in bodycam footage

Bodycam footage captures former Olympian Mary Lou Retton being arrested for a DUI in May.

Footage from Fairmont City Police Department, which was first obtained by Entertainment Tonight and released on Tuesday (8 July), shows the 57-year-old exclaiming “oh my god” as she is arrested.

Ms Retton said “are you kidding me?”, before telling a friend “they think I’m drunk!” as she is handcuffed.

Prior to her arrest, the five-time Olympic medalist can be seen trying and struggling to perform sobriety tests for an officer.

On May 17, she was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of “driving under influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or drugs”.
