[ASFN Admin]

United States Olympian Sha’Carri Richardson was arrested for speeding on Thursday, according to WFTV9 and other reports.

The Orange County (Florida) Sheriff's Office told the television station that the 25-year-old was driving 104 miles per hour and "dangerously tailgating" and passing other motorists on Florida's Stoneybrook Parkway.

The Dallas native was reportedly taken into custody and booked into the Orange County jail on a $500 bond.


Richardson was previously arrested after she allegedly assaulted her boyfriend at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in Washington in July 2025.

Camera footage showed Richardson pushing her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman, at the airport, but she was cleared after Coleman declined to participate in the investigation or be recognized as a victim in the case.

USA TODAY submitted a request to the Orange County Sheriff's Office and the Orange County Jail to confirm Richardson’s arrest.

Richardson won two medals for the U.S. during the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, including a gold in the 4x100 relay.
