I do hope she gets the mental health she clearly needs.

In USA do they release what the alcohol reading was or what drugs were detected for a DUI?

rlayt · Monday at 4:43 PM

The blood alcohol level limit is set by the state’s laws. I imagine the locals determine whether to release it,

Yikes! Both to the DUI and to watching videos while driving!

With her delicate health condition, she shouldn’t be drinking so much, much less DUI. I know this in part by experience. Years ago I got so drunk I had to be driven home. Later, I made a New Year’s resolution not to drink like that again. I still drink, but moderately, and without getting drunk.

If there is a dependence issue, I hope she gets the help she needs to overcome it.

She drives a Porsche?

.... is that where all of the GFM donations went?

Hopefully she’ll have to park it for a long time. For everyone else’s safety.

Fairmont police stopped Retton on May 17 following a report about a person in a Porsche driving erratically. According to the criminal complaint, Retton smelled of alcohol and was slurring her words, and she failed a field sobriety test.

Officers also reported observing a container of wine in the passenger seat.

It's the bottle of wine on the passenger seat that I keep coming back to.
