It is understood that Richardson got into a heated argument with her boyfriend and fellow athlete Christian Coleman at the TSA security checkpoint.
According to The Athletic, an officer claims to have witnessed Richardson shoving her boyfriend multiple times as he tried to walk away.
Footage of the alleged incident was reportedly captured on a security camera at the airport, which cops deemed enough probable cause for her arrest.
The clip reportedly shows Richardson reaching out with her left arm and grabbing Coleman's backpack before pushing it away.
She then appeared to block Coleman's way before shoving him into a wall.
The report later said that Richardson seemingly threw an item at Coleman, which the TSA indicated may have been headphones.
The case was cleared and the Olympic athlete was released from jail after Coleman allegedly refused to press charges and "declined to be a victim", DailyMail reports.

Liverpool reject £20m Doak 'offers' as EPL club interested
The Anfield club rejected offers of around £20 million for the winger in January, claims The Athletic. Leeds have now 'expressed interest', with Daniel Farke looking to add a winger to his squad as the Elland Road club return to the English Premier League. Doak spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough, where he caught the eye, scoring three goals and assisting seven in 24 games. Read more: He also established himself in the Scotland national team towards the end of 2024, before injury prevented him from playing a part in his country's UEFA Nations League playoff with Greece and following friendlies against Iceland and Liechtenstein. Back fit ahead of the new campaign, though, Doak impressed for Liverpool in a recent pre-season friendly against Athletic Club, playing just under an hour from the start. With a year left on his contract with the English champions, it remains to be seen where Doak's future lies this summer. The 19-year-old initially joined Liverpool from Celtic in 2022, after he became the third-youngest player in the Parkhead club's history, behind Karamoko Dembele and Jack Aitchison.

Olympic athlete swims length of Loch Lomond as he is named 'King of the Lakes' after record-breaking feat
Olympian Hector Pardoe swam the entire length of Loch Lomond in pitch black, and then the entire length of Windermere and Lake Bala to complete his epic '3 lakes challnege to raise awareness over polluted waterways. Olympic swimmer Hector Pardoe made a big splash through the night as he swam the entire length of Loch Lomond to raise funds and awareness around pollution of the country's natural waters. Hector, who has twice represented Team GB at the Olympics in Marathon Open Water Swimming, took on the Three Lakes Challenge for Surfers Against Sewage last week by swimming all three of the UK's largest lakes in just 24 hours. Setting off at midnight on Friday, August 1, he swam the loch in pitch black, before going on to swim Windermere and Lake Bala. Upon completion the opening leg of the lung-bursting challenge on Loch Lomond, Hector was congratulated by Dumbarton MP Douglas McAllister and Dumbarton MSP Jackie Baillie, who threw their support behind the campaign. After meeting Hector at the finishing line in Balloch, Mr McAllister said: 'I was delighted to meet Hector and congratulate him as he completed the first leg of his three lakes challenge in Balloch. 'After raising the issue of water pollution in our shores and on our beaches in Parliament, Surfers Against Sewage contacted me to invite me along to Loch Lomond to meet Hector at the finish line. 'An absolutely incredible feat and I'm so proud that he chose my constituency of West Dunbartonshire to complete the first leg of this gruelling challenge.' Hector first set off from Ardlui at midnight, completing the swim in seven hours and 46 minutes after battling freezing, pitch-black waters, all to demand cleaner and safer water. After Loch Lomond, Hector swam Lake Windermere in England, and finally, Lake Bala (Llyn Tegid) in Wales where he finished with some world records, and having raised vital funds and awareness in the fight against sewage pollution. Across the UK, rivers and lakes are being polluted by sewage. In 2024 alone, water companies dumped raw sewage into rivers and seas nearly 600,000 times – all while paying out £1.2 billion to shareholders. 'The UK Government is currently undergoing a major review into how our water industry is run in the most significant reform since privatisation', Mr McAllister added. 'I'm committed to continuing to advocate for Scottish Government action to clean up our rivers and our beaches.' The full swim was double the length of the English Channel and covered 34.5 miles of open water. Hector completed the challenge in under 22 hours, earning him the moniker of 'King of the Lakes'. The campaign is inspired by the 3 Peaks Challenge, whereby participants climb the three largest mountains of England, Scotland, and Wales in just 24 hours. Hector is aiming to raise £15,000 for Surfers Against Sewage to support the vital work they do to fight for clean water. To donate to Hector's effort, click here.
