Sha'Carri Richardson's boyfriend defends her after arrest for alleged assault against him

Olympic gold medalist Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested last weekend for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, fellow sprinter Christian Coleman.

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

Richardson is alleged to have grabbed Coleman's backpack, yanked it, shoved Coleman into a wall and threw headphones at him. The incident occurred days before the United States Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
