Dallas Olympian Sha'Carri Richardson Pleads Not Guilty to Speeding Charge in Florida

Richardson faces charges under Florida's new 100+ mph criminal speeding law; Coleman is charged with resisting arrest and drug paraphernalia possession, both pleaded not guilty this week.

  • On Feb. 2, Sha'Carri Richardson, Olympic gold medalist, and Christian Coleman, USA teammate and Olympic sprinter, pleaded not guilty after arrests in Orange County, Florida.
  • On Jan. 29, deputies say Richardson was stopped after allegedly speeding 104 mph on State Road 429 in Winter Park, where the limit is 65 mph, prompting a criminal charge.
  • Christian Coleman stopped his black Jeep on the shoulder, identified himself as Richardson's boyfriend, then was arrested for resisting without violence after deputies found a glass smoking device with green leafy material in his vehicle.
  • On the evening of Jan. 29 both athletes bonded out within one minute, while WFAA sought fuller footage but was told such requests typically take weeks and USA Track and Field had no comment.
  • Body‑camera footage released last week shows a deputy saying Richardson cut him off while she apologizes, under a law passed last year criminalizing dangerous driving at 100 mph or more.
