In an unfortunate turn of events, Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested on Sunday, July 27, at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for domestic violence ahead of her participation in the 2025 USA Track and Field Outdoor Championships that commenced on Thursday, July 31. According to the reports, she was arrested for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend and fellow sprinter Christian Coleman.
According to the police report from the Port of Seattle Police Department, on Sunday, security footage at the airport showed Richardson and Coleman getting involved in a heated argument. The report confirmed that the police went through the airport security footage and found Richardson following Coleman while he appeared to be walking away from her.
She was later seen pushing the fellow sprinter into a column. As Coleman tried to stay away from her, she kept bumping into him several times. The report stated Richardson also allegedly threw headphones at him. The incident caught on a security camera was the police's probable cause to arrest Richardson on a charge of domestic violence assault.
