A two-time Olympic medal-winning sprinter was hit with a stun gun and then arrested Thursday night in Miami Beach, Florida, after an altercation with police.
An arrest report said Fred Kerley, 29, was talking with police about his vehicle, which was near a police scene, when his “demeanor became increasingly aggressive,” according to NBC.
Kerley was “asked to leave the area,” but instead “assumed a fighting stance,” police said. After Kerley allegedly resisted arrest, “a dart-firing stun gun was effectively deployed,” police said.
