Monitoring video of what led to Sha’Carri Richardson’s arrest has been released.
In the video from Seattle-Tacoma Airport on July 27, originally obtained by TMZ Sports, Richardson is approaching his girlfriend, Christian Coleman, from the frame and seems to grab backpack from behind. Richardson seemed to grill Coleman and pushed him before pushing him into a wall and pushing him more later.
The two seemed to exchange words as they went against security, with Richardson, who still pushed him and seemed to reach his face.

An officer at the airport was notified by a supervisor of Transport Safety Administration on a disturbance between Richardson and Coleman, according to the police report via Associated Press.
Coleman refused to be a victim in the case, says a police report, and he made it very clear that he wants to move on from a “sucked situation.”
In fact, Coleman thought the arrest was too far.
“I don’t feel like she should have been arrested. I mean people have discussions and feelings and similar things. She has things that she needs to work on for herself, of course. So do I, so do you. But I’m the type of guy who is expanding grace, and mercy and love,” Coleman told journalists This weekend.
