Former US Women's striker Abby Wambach, the world's all-time leading international goalscorer, was arrested on Saturday night for driving under the influence of alcohol.
The 35 year old retired in December 2015 after scoring 184 goals in 255 games, a record unmatched in international football.
"I take full responsibility for my actions. This is all on me," Wambach said in a statement on Facebook.
According to local police, she was arrested in Portland, Oregon after being seen running a red light.
Wambach was named the 2012 Fifa Women's World Player of the Year and is also a six-time US Soccer Female Athlete of the Year winner.
