Deputies said that during that time, Ryan also grabbed the driver 'by [the] hair,' causing the vehicle to 'almost strike a bridge,' and 'threw a partially full glass bottle of Crown Royal past the child in an attempt to hide the bottle' when officers performed the traffic stop, deputies said. Ryan has been charged with child neglect. He is being held in North Central Regional Jail on $25,000 bond. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Former Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton charged with DUI in West Virginia
Former gymnast Mary Lou Retton was charged with driving under the influence in West Virginia earlier this month, according to records filed in the Magistrate Court of Marion County. According to court records, the legendary Olympic gymnast was arrested on May 17. It is not clear at this time what happened before her arrest. The Fairmont Police Department and Marion County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Retton, 57, posted a $1,500 bond, according to online records. NBC News reached out to a representative for Retton for comment. Retton became the first American woman to win an Olympic individual all-around gold when she edged out Romania's Ecaterina Szabo in the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles. That golden moment cemented her fame as one of the country's most famous gymnasts. She was the first female athlete depicted on a Wheaties box. Last year, the former athlete said she faced "death in the eyes" while in intensive care in 2023 with a life-threatening bout of pneumonia. After leaving the hospital, she required the help of a nasal oxygen tube to breathe, and said she was dealing with ongoing health issues. Months later, Retton told NBC News that doctors "still don't know" exactly what illness is continuing to impact her lungs. "They're calling it a rare form of pneumonia," she said last year.
