The ruling 100 meters world champion Sha’Carri Richardson was arrested last weekend for the alleged attack of his friend at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Richardson was arrested on Sunday for the crime of domestic violence of the fourth degree, according to the police report obtained by the Associated Press. On Thursday, 100 meters of women on American tracks and field championships in Eugene, Oregon, ran in the opening round. In September in Tokyo, he has an automatic farewell to the World Championship as a defending champion.
25 -year -old Richardson was posted to South Correctional Entity (SCORE) in des Moines in Washington at 18:54 last Sunday and released Monday at 13:13
“Usatf is aware of the news and does not comment on this matter,” said Track and Field US Track and Field.
Richardson’s agent did not respond immediately to an e -mail request for comment.
The police report said that the officer at the airport was informed by the supervisor of traffic security about the disturbance between Richardson and her friend Sprinter Christian Coleman.
The officer examined the camera shots and observed that Richardson had reached his left arm and grabbed Coleman’s backpack and pulled it away. Richardson then seemed to have come to Coleman’s journey with Coleman, who tried to advance around her. Coleman was put into the wall.
The report later said that it seemed that Richardson would throw the item on Coleman, which TSA indicated that it could have been headphones.
In the police report, the officer said, “I was told that Coleman did not want to participate in the investigation and refused to be a victim.”
Richardson won 100 at the 2023 World Championship in Budapest and last summer ended with silver at the Paris Games. The 4×100 relay also helped in Olympic gold.
She had a positive marijuana test at the Olympic trials in 2021 and did not compete at the Tokyo Olympics.
