Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson arrested at Washington airport on a domestic violence offense
Reigning 100-meter world champion Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested last weekend for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Richardson was arrested Sunday on a fourth-degree domestic violence offense, according to a police report obtained by The Associated Press. On Thursday, she ran in the opening round of the women's 100 meters at U.S. track and field championships in Eugene, Oregon. She has an automatic bye to the world championships in September in Tokyo as the defending champion. The 25-year-old Richardson was booked into the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) in Des Moines, Washington, at 6:54 p.m. last Sunday and released Monday at 1:13 p.m. 'USATF is aware of the reports and is not commenting on this matter,' USA Track and Field said in a statement. Richardson's agent did not immediately reply to an email request for comment. The police report said an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman. The officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm and grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away. Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her. Coleman was shoved into a wall. The report later said Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, which the TSA indicated may have been headphones. In the police report, the officer said: 'I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim.' Richardson won the 100 at the 2023 world championships in Budapest and finished with the silver at the Paris Games last summer. She also helped the 4x100 relay to an Olympic gold. She had a positive marijuana test at the 2021 U.S. Olympic trials and didn't compete at the Tokyo Olympics. ___

Migrants blow kisses from hotel window as they film protesters clashing with police on streets below
MIGRANT hotel residents have been spotted laughing while they video protesters and counter-demonstrators clash. People believed to be asylum seekers inside the Thistle City Barbican Hotel, in Islington, waved and blew kisses at protesters in the street below. The protest outside the north London hotel was sparked today, while another demonstration will also take place in Newcastle outside The New Bridge Hotel. The Metropolitan Police said the display was organised by local residents under the banner "Thistle Barbican needs to go - locals say no". Online groups called Patriots of Britain and Together for the Children have voiced their support for the demonstration. A counter-protest, created by Stand Up To Racism, has also unfolded. On student involved said he wants migrants to "feel safe" in the UK. Pat Prendergast, 21, said: "I want people to feel safe. I think the (rival protesters) over there are making people feel unsafe. "I want to stand up in solidarity and say that, you know, we want people here. "We want migrants. We want asylum seekers." Meanwhile people against the hotel being used for migrants shouted "get these scum off our streets", while waving England flags. A large group of masked protesters dressed in black and chanted "we are anti-fascist". A man donning an England football shirt was also arrested by police after an aggressive altercation with officers. There were clashes before cops separate the two groups. Chief Superintendent Clair Haynes, in charge of the policing operation, said: "We have been in discussions with the organisers of both protests in recent days, building on the ongoing engagement between local officers, community groups and partners. "We understand that there are strongly held views on all sides. "Our officers will police without fear or favour, ensuring those exercising their right to protest can do so safely, but intervening at the first sign of actions that cross the line into criminality. "We have used our powers under the Public Order Act to put conditions in place to prevent serious disorder and to minimise serious disruption to the lives of people and businesses in the local community. "Those conditions identify two distinct protest areas where the protests must take place, meaning the groups will be separated but still within sight and sound of each other." In a statement, the organisers of the counter protest said: "Yet again far-right and fascist thugs are intent on bringing their message of hate to Newcastle. "They aim to build on years of Islamophobia, anti-migrant sentiment and scapegoating. "In Epping and elsewhere recently we have already seen intimidation and violence aimed at refugees, migrants and asylum seekers. "Newcastle, like the rest of the North East, has a well-earned reputation for unity in the face of those who seek to divide us. "Whatever problems we face, racism and division are not the answer." is your go-to destination for the best celebrity news, real-life stories, jaw-dropping pictures and must-see video.
