Retired U.S. soccer star Abby Wambach pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges of driving under the influence of intoxicants in Portland, Oregon. A Multnomah County Circuit Court judgered ordered Wambach to install a breathalyzer in her vehicle and undergo drug and alcohol treatment, The Oregonian reported. The two-time Olympic gold medalist was arrested April 2 after she was pulled over for running a red light and failed field sobriety tests, police said. The 35-year-old’s blood alcohol content was 0.13 percent, which is above the state’s limit of .08 percent. Wambach could have her charges dismissed within a year if she enrolls in a diversion program for first-time offenders.
