The incident, first reported by LetsRun.com, landed Richardson in custody for just shy of 19 hours at the SCORE South Correctional Entity.

The police report described an incident at the TSA security checkpoint. Richardson, the arresting officer detailed, got into a heated argument with Coleman — who told the officer Richardson was his girlfriend of two years, though the couple didn't go public with their relationship until February. The arresting officer witnessed Richardson shove Coleman multiple times as Coleman walked away from Richardson — footage caught on security camera — and deemed it enough probable cause to arrest Richardson. The offense was listed as a fourth-degree domestic violence assault.
According to the report, the case has been cleared, Coleman has not pressed charges and 'declined to be a victim.'
Both Richardson and Coleman raced in Thursday's preliminary rounds. Richardson posted a time of 11.07 seconds in the first round of the women's 100-meter competition. Coleman ran 10.08 in his heat. Both advanced to Thursday evening's final.
USA Track and Field declined to comment.
Richardson — who won silver in the 100 meters in Paris and gold in the 4×100 meter women's relay — hadn't raced for eight months before returning to action in May. Thursday's heat was her third race of 2025 and her best time. She felt good afterwards and was in a good mood following the race as she talked to the media.
'Right now,' she said, 'I'm cruising under the radar, but when it's time to hit — it's gonna be a bang where y'all see my name.'
Richardson, however, withdrew from the 100-meter competition. As the reigning World Champion in the 100 meters, she already has an automatic bid to the 2025 World Championships in Tokyo. So Thursday's run was possibly always a practice session. Noah Lyles, who has an automatic bid in the men's 100 meters, also announced he was pulling out of the 100-meter final on Friday. As did Gabby Thomas, who was likely using the 100-meter race as prep for her main event, the 200 meters.
But Richardson doesn't have an automatic qualifier in the 200, the final for which is scheduled for Saturday. She won bronze in 2023 behind Thomas and winner, Shericka Jackson, of Jamaica.

Lynx star Napheesa Collier exits game vs. Aces with right ankle injury
Minnesota Lynx star and WNBA MVP frontrunner Napheesa Collier left Saturday's road game against the Las Vegas Aces late in the third quarter with a right ankle injury. Collier rolled her ankle while running into Lynx forward Alanna Smith, who, like Collier, was tracking a potential offensive rebound. Collier's right foot collided with the back of Smith's left foot. After getting twisted up, Collier hit the deck. The five-time All-Star forward couldn't stand up at first. The Lynx trainers had her sit back down. But ultimately she was able to walk gingerly off the court and into the locker room under her own power, albeit with an arm around the shoulder a Minnesota staffer. At the time, the Lynx were up 92-49 on the Aces, who had their bench in the game from about midway through the third quarter on. Collier scored just four points during a 67-point Lynx first half that featured lights out shooting from her teammates, including from five-time All-Star guard Kayla McBride, who tied a WNBA record with 8 made 3s in one half. But Collier joined the scoring party in the third quarter when she recorded 14 points, giving her 18 on the day before she went down. Collier, who captained an All-Star team this year, entered the weekend with a league-high 23.8 points per game. This story is being updated.

Byron Buxton looks to be a calming presence in Twins' clubhouse after a flurry of deadline moves
CLEVELAND (AP) — Every time Byron Buxton picked up his phone Thursday afternoon, there was a text message or news ping that one of his Minnesota Twins teammates was being traded. Two days later, Buxton was still trying to take in all the moves the Twins made as the front office made nine trades and turned over nearly 40% of the roster. Even though the All-Star center fielder is on the 10-day injured list with left ribcage inflammation, Buxton joined the Twins in Cleveland for this weekend's series as the franchise's clubhouse leader wanted to be there to provide support and be a sounding board for teammates. 'I mean ,trading nine guys like that is something that's not normal, so it was a little bit of a shock for sure,' Buxton said before Saturday's game. 'Right now, obviously, I haven't processed it. I don't know who has processed it, but something we'll talk about a little bit more at the end of the season.' Manager Rocco Baldelli said that having Buxton on the trip was important, not only for the support that he can give, but also because he remains on track to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday when the Twins are at Detroit. 'Keeping him with our trainers here and being able to get on the field here with the group when he's ready was important, but also the support that he's going to be giving the guys around him. Everybody looks to him, everyone looks to see how he'll respond to things, and he's a passionate guy. He cares about his teammates and his team and guys respect him immensely.' Buxton said he understands that baseball is a business and he anticipated moves were going to be made near the deadline. However, the amount of turnover was surprising. The Twins' most-significant move near the deadline was when shortstop Carlos Correa was dealt to Houston. Correa broke into the majors with the Astros and still has a house in Houston as he waived his no-trade clause. 'It's one of those things where you didn't think he was going to leave but with the opportunity that was ahead of him and just him being an Astro before, it's hard to pass that up in his situation. I couldn't be happier for him and his family. It is what's best for him,' Buxton said about Correa. While there are a lot of unknowns about the Twins as the team remains for sale, Buxton is trying to focus on the present. That includes making sure the new faces on the team can get acclimated quickly as well as trying to make sure the season doesn't spiral too much out of control. Minnesota won the AL Central in 2023, but missed the playoffs with an 82-80 mark last season. The Twins entered Saturday at 51-58 and on a three-game losing streak. 'These guys coming up, I don't want them to look at this as 'I finally got a shot.' You came up here because you want to win and you want to be better. So it's just playing together and having each other's backs is going to be the biggest thing going forward,' he said. ___ AP MLB:
