The news spread across the globe and Wambach's drink-driving arrest quickly generated a lot of buzz. The news, which shocked the sports world, was reportedly picked up by the BBC, the Guardian and other international media outlets.
According to reliable sources, the incident occurred late Saturday afternoon local time in the U.S. A patrol officer on traffic patrol witnessed a vehicle driven by Wambach run a red light and then decisively stopped his vehicle. Regrettably, police smelled a distinct odor of alcohol at the scene.
A Portland Police spokesperson revealed that Wambach was then rushed to a nearby police station where she underwent a series of rigorous alcohol tests. Sadly, she failed all of the tests.
In the aftermath of the incident, Wambach issued a sincere public apology on his personal social media accounts, which drew widespread public attention.
