The case, which charged Richardson with domestic violence, has since been cleared.
Team USA sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested on Sunday after reportedly getting into a fight with her boyfriend at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, according to a police report obtained by multiple media outlets. Richardson was charged with domestic violence, but the case has since been cleared.
According to the report, Richardson got into an argument with her boyfriend, fellow U.S. sprinter Christian Coleman, and began shoving him. Police also said that Richardson threw a pair of headphones at Coleman, per USA TODAY. Police arrested Richardson for fourth-degree domestic violence assault as a result of security camera footage of the incident.
Richardson was booked in South Correctional Entity in Des Moines, WA on Sunday evening, according to jail records. She was released on Monday afternoon.
Richardson and Coleman went public with their relationship in February, though Coleman reportedly told police that the two have been together for two years. Per the report, Coleman refused to press charges and "declined to be a victim," via The Athletic.
USA Track and Field said in a statement to USA TODAY that the organization was aware of the reports, but did not provide any additional comment.
Richardson competed in the USA Track and Field championships in Eugene, Oregon, running in the first round of the women's 100 meter race on Thursday. With a time of 11.07 seconds, Richardson came in 11th place, missing the cut for the semifinal race on Friday.
She is set to compete in the first round of the women's 200m on Sunday.
