Star United States sprinter Fred Kerley was arrested in Miami Beach on battery on a law enforcement officer and other charges, police said. The incident was captured in police body camera footage. Police officials said officers were investigating an incident in the 100 block of 9th Street late Thursday night when Kerley approached the scene, expressing concerns about his vehicle, which was parked nearby.
Police said Kerley took a 'fighting stance' and refused to obey officers' commands, so they used a stun gun on him to take him into custody. Police body camera footage released Friday doesn't show the beginning of the encounter but shows Kerley, in a grey patterned hoodie, speaking with multiple officers as another officer approaches. The officer places a hand on Kerley's chest and a struggle ensues as multiple officers wrestle him to the ground. An officer hits Kerley multiple times as he continues to struggle and a woman, believed to be Kerley's girlfriend, screams at the officers. The officers are heard telling Kerley to stop resisting for several moments before one officer says 'I'm gonna Tase him' and the others back away. The officer deploys the Taser on Kerley, who falls to the ground and is handcuffed as the woman continues yelling. After several more moments, Kerley is heard speaking with the officers. Kerley was expected to appear in bond court Friday afternoon. Attorney information wasn't available
