Sha’Carri Richardson Arrested in Florida Under ‘Super Speeder’ Law After 104 MPH Stop

The Olympic sprinter was released on a $500 bond with a court date set for Feb. 26.

Overview

  • Orange County deputies say she was clocked at 104 mph on State Road 429 near Stoneybrook Parkway while tailgating and weaving across lanes to pass other drivers.
  • Bodycam footage shows an officer detailing the alleged violations as Richardson pleads not to be taken to jail.
  • The charge is being handled under Florida’s 2025 “Super Speeder” law, which requires a court appearance and allows heightened fines and possible jail time for 100-plus mph driving.
  • An affidavit reported by multiple outlets says Christian Coleman arrived at the scene and was later charged with resisting and possession of drug paraphernalia, and sprinter Twanisha Terry was cited for stopping on a limited-access roadway.
  • Richardson, a 2024 Olympic gold and silver medalist, has not issued a detailed public statement as the case proceeds toward her Feb. 26 hearing.
