Sha'Carri Richardson Arrested for Domestic Assault at Seattle Airport

Sha’Carri Richardson, the world-renowned American sprinter, was arrested on a fourth-degree domestic violence assault charge following an altercation with her boyfriend and fellow sprinter Christian Coleman at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. According to reports and security footage, Richardson shoved Coleman multiple times and threw a pair of headphones at him during the incident, which occurred as they passed through TSA security. Coleman declined to press charges and asked not to be listed as a victim, leading to the case being cleared. Despite the arrest, both athletes participated in the U.S. Track and Field Championships shortly afterward, with Richardson achieving a personal best time. USA Track and Field has not publicly commented on the situation. Richardson and Coleman have been dating for over two years, with their relationship becoming public earlier in 2025.
