U.S. Soccer Legend Abby Wambach Has Been Arrested For Drunk Driving, Her Mugshot Screams ‘GUILTY’

Abby Wambach is settling into retirement nicely it seems. After hanging up the cleats at the end of last year, the former Olympic and FIFA world player of the year is now tackling a new challenge: trying to operate a motor vehicle while shitfaced.

According to the New York Post,

Portland police Sgt. Peter Simpson said in a statement Sunday that a sergeant stopped the 35-year-old Saturday night after she reportedly ran a red light in her Range Rover near downtown.

Simpson says Wambach failed field sobriety tests and was arrested. He says she also failed a breath test at the police precinct.

She was booked into Multnomah County Jail early Sunday on investigation of driving under the influence. Jail booking records show she was released Sunday on her own recognizance.

I just got a little buzzed looking at her mugshot. Jesus Abby, you suck down a blunt after you drank an entire liter of vodka?

U-S-A? U-S-A?

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
