MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — U.S. Olympic runner Fred Kerley has been arrested in South Florida following a conformation with police, authorities said.
According to an arrest report, officers were investigating an unrelated active police scene when Kerley approached the area and attempted to force his way through to his vehicle, which was parked nearby. Officers had told Kerley to go around the area, but Kerley began to argue with them, which led to a shoving match with police.
Kerley is charged with battery, resisting an officer and disorderly conduct. Online court records didn’t immediately list an attorney for Kerley, and USA Track & Field, the national governing body for track and field in the U.S., didn’t immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
