Sha’Carri Richardson Arrested For Domestic Violence at Seattle Airport

Olympic gold medalist Sha’Carri Richardson was arrested at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for a domestic violence incident involving fellow sprinter Christian Coleman. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Richardson shoving Coleman into a wall and throwing an object, possibly headphones. Coleman declined to press charges and later defended Richardson, calling the situation “sucky” and praising her character. Richardson was booked on a fourth-degree domestic violence offense but released the next day. The incident occurred just days before a major track event, casting a shadow over the world champion sprinter’s season.
