Olympic track medalist Fred Kerley was arrested after a physical altercation with police officers in Miami Beach. He faces charges including battery of a police officer, resisting arrest, and robbery.
A track medalist in the 2020 and 2024 Summer Olympics was arrested in Miami Beach after a physical confrontation with four officers Thursday night, according to police. Fred Kerley , 29, of Southwest Miami-Dade County, exchanged words with officers, a physical struggle ensued, and he was wrestled to the ground and subdued with a stun gun, police said. The agency released bodycam video of the incident.
On Friday, police added a probable cause arrest of robbery/strongarm and domestic battery on May 7, 2024, stemming from a physical confrontation with a woman he was married for three years and knew for 10 years. They reside together with three children in common. Police say they were not able to locate him then.He already was facing charges of battery of a police officer and resisting an officer without violence. During his first appearance on Friday afternoon, Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer didn't find probable cause for a charge of disorderly conduct/breach of the peace and he was allowed to be released from jail on his own recognizance. His attorney, Richard L. Cooper said Kerley will be released Saturday. 'These new charges are stemming from a falsified accusation that has resurfaced because of this new media attention from last nights wrongful arrest,' the attorney said.'I can say that Mr. Kerley is a record-breaking athlete who has honorably and successfully represented our nation in the Olympics many times. These charges are false and indicate the brutal police state that Miami Beach has become. Kerley's girlfriend, Cleo Rahman, 32, a national DJ known as Dj Sky High Baby, also is facing a charge of resisting an officer without violence charge because 'her actions took several officers to divert their attention from assisting the officers to deal with her,' according to the arrest repor
