Sha’Carri Richardson arrested for domestic violence at Seattle airport

NEW DELHI: Reigning 100m world champion Sha’Carri Richardson was arrested for domestic violence at Settle airport, four days before the start of the US Track & Field Championships, USA TODAY Sports reported on Friday.

The 25-year-old, who won Olympic silver in the 100 at the Paris 2024 Games, allegedly pushed her male companion, who then fell into a nearby column after an argument, according to a police report obtained by the American publication. The report said she was detained on the evening of July 27 and released the following day.

Reuters has contacted the Port of Seattle Police Department, Richardson’s agent and US Track & Field for comment.

Richardson withdrew from the 100m semifinals in Eugene, Oregon, on Friday after participating in Thursday’s heats.

She is guaranteed a spot in the 100m at the World Championships in September due to her win at Budapest in 2023. Agencies
