Retired World Cup soccer champion Abby Wambach released a statement apologizing to her family, friends and fans after she was arrested for a DUII in Oregon.
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 in the downtown area.
Simpson says Wambach failed field sobriety tests and was arrested.
He said she also failed a breath test at the police precinct.
Wambach released the statement apologizing for her actions on her Facebook page Sunday afternoon.
'Last night I was arrested for DUII in Portland after dinner at a friend's house.
'Those that know me, know that I have always demanded excellence from myself. I have let myself and others down.
'I take full responsibility for my actions. This is all on me. I promise that I will do whatever it takes to ensure that my horrible mistake is never repeated.
'I am so sorry to my family, friends, fans and those that look to follow a better example.'
Wambach was booked into Multnomah County Jail early Sunday for driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII).
She was released on her own recognizance, according to jail booking records.
Wambach didn't post any pictures of her out at dinner last night, but she was out buying a bed a few hours before the DUII, according to her Instagram account.
Wambach capped her career last summer with the sport's most prestigious championship when the United States defeated Japan 5-2 in Canada at the World Cup
