VIDEO: Body Cam Footage of Sha’Carri Richardson’s arrest released
Olympic Sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson was arrested July 27 on a fourth-degree domestic violence offense for allegedly assaulting Coleman at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
Police have just released surveillance footage of Richardson’s assault on her boyfriend and body camera footage of Richardson’s arrest.
In the video you can see Richardson repeatedly pushing Coleman, to the point Coleman flies out of frame, and Sha’carri continues to pursue her assault.
Richardson posted a later deleted story on her Instagram account Monday night in which she said she put herself in a “compromised situation.” She issued a written apology to Coleman on Tuesday morning.
In the video, Richardson said she’s practicing “self-reflection” and refuses “to run away but face everything that comes to me head on.”
“I love him & to him I can’t apologize enough,” the reigning 100-meter world champion wrote in all capital letters on Instagram, adding that her apology “should be just as loud” as her “actions.”
“To Christian I love you & I am so sorry,” she wrote.
Coleman had nothing but kind things to say, defending Richardson for her actions.
