A standoff ensued and Kerley was arrested. Body camera footage captured Kerley being tased by an officer, while a bystander begged the officers to “stop” because “he didn’t do anything.”

Kerley faces charges of assaulting a police officer, prison officer or firefighter; resisting an officer without violence; and misconduct. He was released on his own recognizance.

However, the Miami-Dade County Jail website later said he was back in custody on charges of domestic violence, strangulation and robbery.

According to an arrest affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital, Kerley and his wife got into a verbal and then physical altercation in May on his birthday when Kerley’s wife was in contact with an “unknown person on Instagram.”

Kerley aggressively approached his wife, and she punched him out of fear, according to the affidavit. Kerley then “grabbed the victim, pushed her to the ground, wrapped her arm around her neck and obstructed her breathing.”

The affidavit says Kerley then stole his wife’s cell phone after placing her in another chokehold. Kerley was not present when authorities arrived and witnesses became uncooperative.

A probable cause alert was then entered into the jail system, and he was charged after his arrest Thursday night.

Kerley won a bronze medal in the 100 meters in Paris this summer, while his teammate Noah Lyles won his first Olympic gold. Kerley won the 2022 world championships in the event and silver at the Tokyo Olympics.

He also has world championships in the 4x400m relay in 2019 and the 4x100m relay in 2023.

Kerley was part of the 4x100m team in Paris that was disqualified for a failed handover. Lyles thought he was part of that team, but he fell ill with COVID earlier this week, contributing to his drop in the 200m, the event he was heavily favored to win.
