Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton berates cops as she's arrested for DUI
Shocking bodycam footage shows star Olympic gymnast Mary-Lou Retton fighting with officers as they arrested her for a DUI. The video obtained by Daily Mail shows the 57-year-old incredulous and slurring her words moments after she was arrested in her home state of West Virginia in May. Retton, wearing a yellow T-shirt, burgundy shorts and flip-flops, told officers that she had simply been out to 'get her nails done' and appeared shocked that she had been pulled over. She told officers that they were 'too old to know who she was', before admonishing them for daring to arrest her because she's 'West Virginia's first daughter'. Despite being told multiple times to listen, the gold medalist admitted that she couldn't stand with one leg in the air for nine seconds in the newly released footage. Retton can be seen rolling her eyes when asked to conduct the tests, before adding: 'This is ridiculous, I'm a gold medalist.' One cop quipped that she should be good at the tests, which Retton responded by smiling and saying: 'Yeah! I mean upside down.' She hurried through the straight-line walk, failed to keep her head still while tracking the officer's finger and stumbled each time she tried to lift one leg into the air. After stumbling through her sobriety tests, Retton shot back, 'No, I did not,' when the officer informed her that she had failed all three. Leaning against a car with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face, she doubled down on her denial, muttering: 'Come on,' and 'Oh my God.' She even called the officers 'crazy' after refusing to take a breath test at the scene. When told she was being taken into custody on suspicion of DUI, her jaw dropped as she asked: 'I'm going to have to go to jail?' As officers handcuffed her, Retton became increasingly distressed, yelling, 'No I'm not!' and continuing to protest as they placed her in the back of the squad car and transported her to the station. The gold medalist, once dubbed America's sweetheart, at one point admonished the cop saying, 'he's too young to know who I am', right after stating the arrest would be good for the 'book.' And just before entering the police station, Retton reinstated her importance by declaring she was 'West Virginia's first daughter'. Retton was hospitalized in the ICU in 2023 with a rare pneumonia that she said scarred her lungs and forced her to use oxygen tubes to breathe. Footage from the Fairmont City Police Department shows her oxygen tank had run out at the time of her arrest, but the ex-athlete initially refused medical help when offered. 'F*** that', she told officers when offered a different supply of oxygen. 'Put me in the cell. Y'all are terrible. I nearly died from double pneumonia. 'I'll die here and you guys will live with that. I'm crazy right now I'm so lightheaded.' When she was offered extra oxygen she declined and said: 'I'll die in your cell.' An officer filling out the arrest paperwork said 'we don't want that', but Retton replied twice 'Yes, you do.' Retton appeared at Marion County Magistrates Court in Fairmont after the arrest, entering a no-contest plea to a non-aggravated DUI charge, receiving a $100 fine - the standard punishment for a first-time offense. The shocking lead-up to her bleary-eyed mugshots began when highway police pulled her over and found her slurring her words behind the wheel of her Porsche. 'I stayed near the car to see if it was still swerving, and it was,' she added. Ralston said she stayed behind Retton's car so she could get the license plate number and car type and then she called the police. Once cops arrived on the scene, they noted she had a 'screw top container of wine' on the passenger seat of her car when they approached her. Court documents obtained by revealed that Retton had 'the odor of alcohol ' coming from her while sitting in the driver's seat of her still-running car. Retton, who wowed at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, winning a gold medal, two silvers and two bronzes, failed all three phases of the standard field sobriety test and refused a roadside preliminary breath test, as well as a secondary chemical test of her blood. Regardless of her refusal, she was charged in Marion County for 'driving under influence of alcohol, controlled substances, or drugs,' according to court records. She was released after personally posting a $1,500 bond. It would take a month for Retton to issue an apology, telling People Magazine after her June 10 court hearing: 'I take full responsibility for my actions,' 'What happened was completely unacceptable,' she added through her attorney Edmund Rollo. 'I make no excuses. To my family, friends and my fans: I have let you down and for that I am deeply sorry. '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.' In addition, she asked for 'privacy as she moves forward with her personal and professional life'.

Mary Lou Retton's Arrest Captured on Bodycam — Mugshots of Former Gold Medalist Released
Mary Lou Retton was arrested in May on a DUI charge in West Virginia The Olympian's arrest was captured on body cam footage She made history in 1984 as the first American female gymnast to win an individual all-around gold medalBodycam footage of Mary Lou Retton's May arrest shows her in an apparently distressed state as she tries to perform a sobriety test for West Virginia law enforcement officials. Retton was arrested on a DUI charge on May 17 in Marion County, W. Va., according to court records reviewed by PEOPLE at the time. The five-time Olympic medalist was allegedly spotted in her car in a Marion County AutoZone parking lot with a screw-top bottle of wine in her passenger seat, the Associated Press reported, citing a criminal complaint. Retton, 57, is seen in the bodycam footage obtained by Entertainment Tonight as an officer with the Fairmont City Police Department instructs her to carry out the sobriety test. As the officer guides her through the steps, Retton appears compliant, though at times she expresses shock at the situation, gasping and saying, "Oh my God." She appears to struggle to complete the test, which requires her to put her foot up six inches off the ground, and count until instructed by the officer to stop. Retton appears to struggle to count past nine. At one point, she seems to have trouble breathing, and has to get her oxygen, tying the tube to her nose while doing the test. Retton has been relying on daily oxygen since her recovery from a serious bout of pneumonia in 2023 — an illness so severe that doctors briefly believed she might not survive, she told PEOPLE in 2024. In July 2024, the Dancing with the Stars alum told PEOPLE that she was so gravely ill at one point during her month-long hospital stay that the doctors had told her four daughters she might not make it. 'It's been really hard," she told PEOPLE in 2024. "My lungs are so scarred. It will be a lifetime of recovery. My physicality was the only thing I had and it was taken away from me. It's embarrassing."Retton entered a no contest plea to a non-aggravated DUI charge and was slapped with a $100 fine, standard for first-time, non-aggravated offenses in the area. Following her arrest, she told PEOPLE in a statement that she is taking accountability for the incident. "What happened was completely unacceptable. I make no excuses. To my family, friends and my fans: I have let you down, and for that I am deeply sorry," she said through her attorney Edmund J. Rollo. The Fairmont City Police Department, which made the arrest, was not available for comment at publication time. Read the original article on People

'Cobra Kai' actor Martin Kove defends biting female co-star in newly released police footage
"Cobra Kai" actor Martin Kove explained his reasoning for biting his co-star. In newly released bodycam footage obtained by Fox News Digital, Kove, 78, told police why he bit actress Alicia Hannah-Kim, 37, in an alarming moment at Summer Con in Puyallup, Washington, on June 22, 2025. "You cannot bite people. That is not OK," the Puyallup Police told Kove. Hannah-Kim chimed in and argued, "That is assault." "And it's 100% up to her if she wants to pursue charges. I'd like to understand why you did that," the police said to Kove. The heated encounter occurred outside a building, as Hannah-Kim appeared visibly upset about the situation and wanted an explanation for Kove's actions. WATCH: MARTIN KOVE EXPLAINS WHY HE BIT HIS 'COBRA KAI' CO-STAR IN BODYCAM FOOTAGE "I was just playing because we're very playful together, and I bit down too hard, and I meant to just..." he explained, as Hannah-Kim looked at the police in disbelief. "She's got a mouth mark on her," authorities said in the bodycam footage. According to a report from the Puyallup Police Department, Hannah-Kim approached an officer in the VIP area after Kove took her arm and bit her "so hard he nearly drew blood," per Variety. "No, we do not play like that," Hannah-Kim added and shook her head. Kove apologized again. The police footage continued with the actress showing her bite marks from Kove, as the people in the video agreed there was a visible bite mark. "All morning, I was thinking when she said, 'Ow, you hurt me,'" Kove said while explaining his side to officers. He referred to Hannah-Kim's reaction after he bit her on the arm hard enough to leave a mark. "I wanted to come back… and see how she's doing," he continued, adding that another co-star allegedly "intercepted" him before he could reach her. Kove claimed he tried to make amends immediately, saying, "I tried to say that… and find her the moment I arrived… just to say—'I'm sorry, darling. I apologize, I didn't mean to hurt you.'" "You know, because we play all the time, we pop, we hit, we do stuff all the time because she's a female sensei, I'm the male sensei," Kove explained of their roles in "Cobra Kai." "We have all our scenes together, and we have a lot of fun." The police footage was released after Kove was forced to leave a fan convention early over the weekend after he bit his co-star. After Kove bit Hannah-Kim, he reportedly let go and began kissing her arm where he had bitten her after she cried out in pain. After telling her husband about the incident, the two approached Kove at the fan event together, after which the report stated he "exploded on them, saying something to the effect of how dare they confront him." Per the report, the actress told the reporting officer she did not want to file charges against Kove, but that she "wished to have a report filed in case this continues." Kove was then asked to leave the fan event. Fox News Digital reached out to representatives for both Kove and Hannah-Kim for comment. Kove is best known for his portrayal of John Kreese in the 1984 movie, "The Karate Kid." Kreese is the main antagonist of the movie, as he is the owner of the karate studio which teaches its students to have "no mercy." He reprised his role for the Netflix revival series, "Cobra Kai," which picked up 33 years after the events of the original movie. Hannah-Kim joined the show in season 6, playing Kim Da-Eun, a sensei from South Korea who teams up with Kreese to take down a rival studio, which happens to be owned by Kreese's former student Johnny Lawrence, played by William Zabka, and his former rival, Daniel LaRusso, played by Ralph Macchio.
