Olympic gold medalist Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested last weekend for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend.

The couple were at the Seattle Tacoma Airport on Sunday when an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman, according to the police report, via The Associated Press.

Richardson is alleged to have grabbed Coleman's backpack and yanked it and shoved Coleman into a wall and apparently was caught on surveillance.

The report later said that Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, which the TSA indicated may have been headphones.

In the police report, the officer said: "I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim."

The 25-year-old Richardson was booked into the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) in Des Moines, Washington, at 6:54 p.m. last Sunday and released Monday at 1:13 p.m.

This isn't Richardson's first controversy at an airport. The track star was booted off a plane in January 2023 after a dispute with a flight attendant who she said spoke to her in a disrespectful manner.
