Olympic track star Sha’Carri Richardson got busted in Florida on a charge of dangerous excessive speeding, according to the police, who say she was speeding over 100 mph.
According to ABC News, the Olympic track star was arrested after being pulled over by police in Orange County, Florida. The Orange County Police Department reports that officers spotted Richardson’s vehicle tailgating and weaving in and out of lanes, apparently trying to pass other vehicles at a reckless speed.
According to the authorities, when the officers pulled her over, Richardson was speeding at 104 mph, over Florida’s 100 mph threshold, which is considered dangerous, excessive speeding.
Richardson, one of track and field’s biggest stars, made headlines around the globe when she was suspended before the Olympics, then won a gold medal, but is now facing legal trouble, which is unfortunate given that her whole life has been under a microscope.
Richardson’s reps didn’t return any calls, but it is unknown when she is due to appear in court.
