On May 17, the former Olympian was taken into custody on suspicion of DUI in Marion County, West Virginia and was released on $1500 bond. She was arrested on one count of "driving under influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or drugs; penalties."
“I am determined to learn and grow from this experience, and I am committed to making positive changes in my life. I truly appreciate your concern, encouragement and continued support," she added through her attorney, Edmund J. Rollo.
Retton appeared in court on Tuesday, June 10 and entered a no contest plea to a non-aggravated DUI charge stemming from the incident. She received a $100 fine which is standard for first-time, non-aggravated offenses in the area.
Her arrest occurred after police responded to reports of a Porsche with a Texas license plate driving "all over the roadway" near downtown Fairmont, West Virginia, according to court documents obtained and reviewed by WDTV.
Police also claimed Retton was slurring her words while speaking with them at the scene and refused to have her blood tested for alcohol. Three standard field sobriety tests administered by authorities detected Retton was impaired, according to WDTV.
During the 1984 Summer Olympics, Retton became a household name after she was the first American woman to win the individual all-around gold medal in gymnastics.
