Sha’Carri Richardson is facing legal trouble.
The Olympic track and field star was arrested at the Seattle Tacoma International Airport on July 27, per a police report obtained by The Athletic, after an alleged incident with her boyfriend Christian Coleman at the TSA security checkpoint.
According to the Port of Seattle Police Department, per the report, the Olympic gold medalist was involved in a heated argument with her boyfriend of two years when the arresting officer alleged that Richardson, 25, shoved Coleman, 29, multiple times while he was attempting to walk away. She then appeared to throw a pair of headphones at him.
After police viewed the incident on security footage, according to the report, they deemed her actions probable cause for arrest on fourth-degree domestic violence assault charges.
Ultimately, after Richardson spent less than 24 hours in custody at the South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, Washington, per the report, Coleman refused to press charges and “declined to be a victim.” The report also stated that the case has since been cleared.
