Two-time Olympic 100m medallist Fred Kerley was recently arrested in Miami under serious allegations. The incident, which involved an alleged physical altercation with his former girlfriend and fellow athlete Alaysha Johnson, occurred at a hotel in Dania Beach. This event took place just before Kerley was set to compete in the second Grand Slam Track meeting.

According to reports from Reuters and CBS, Kerley faces charges of 'battery-touch or strike' as documented by the Broward County Sheriff's Office. Following his court appearance, Kerley posted a $1,000 bond and was released from jail. His attorney, Richard Cooper, expressed confidence that the case would be dismissed shortly.

The Grand Slam Track organization confirmed Kerley's arrest and stated that he would not be participating in the weekend's events due to the ongoing investigation. This incident has cast a shadow over Kerley's athletic career, which includes a bronze medal in the 100m at the Paris 2024 Olympics and a silver medal at Tokyo 2020.

Kerley was scheduled to compete in both the 100m and 200m events in Miami, following his participation in the inaugural Grand Slam Track meet in Kingston, Jamaica. The sports community and fans are keenly awaiting further developments in this case, which has significant implications for Kerley's future in athletics.
