Fred Kerley, an American Olympic medalist and former world champion sprinter, was involved in a serious confrontation with police that led to his tasing and arrest in Miami Beach on Thursday.

The incident occurred when Kerley, who won a bronze medal in the 100m at the Paris Olympics and a silver medal in Tokyo, approached a police-controlled area in South Beach to inquire about his nearby car.

According to the Miami Beach Police Department, Kerley exhibited an aggressive demeanour and disregarded instructions to stay clear of the active investigation scene, prompting a physical altercation with the officers.

The police reported that four officers attempted to subdue Kerley, using physical force, before resorting to a taser when he continued to resist. Despite being incapacitated by the taser, Kerley allegedly continued to struggle, leading to charges of resisting arrest without violence, battery against an officer, and disorderly conduct. Following the altercation, he was transported to Mount Sinai Medical Center for evaluation and later booked at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

Kerley’s court appearance on Friday highlighted the complexities of the incident. His attorney argued that the situation was a “total misunderstanding,” defending Kerley as a “model citizen” and criticizing the police’s handling of the encounter. Miami-Dade Judge Mindy Glazer remarked that the incident “could have been handled another way,” pointing out Kerley’s clean legal record and his status as a professional athlete.
