Christian Coleman Busted For Resisting Arrest, Drug Paraphernalia ... During Sha'Carri Richardson Stop

Sha'Carri Richardson wasn't the only track star arrested on Thursday -- her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman, was busted for drug paraphernalia and resisting during the traffic stop, TMZ Sports has learned.

We've obtained the arrest affidavit from the medalist's run-in with police ... and it turns out it was a bit of a Team USA hangout of sorts -- with CC, as well as fellow sprinter Twanisha Terry, making appearances.

The report states cops were driving north on SR429 in Winter Garden, Florida around noon on Thursday ... when a gray vehicle approached at a rapid speed. When using radar, the cop says the car reached up to 104 MPH.

The responding officer says the gray Aston Martin was driving dangerously, tailgating and passing other vehicles ... and appeared to be flashing her lights at other cars.

When Richardson was pulled over, a black Jeep pulled up in front of the scene on the side of the road ... and Coleman got out and approached the officer to ask what was going on.

Richardson told the officer Coleman was her boyfriend ... but later, when asked to identify himself, the cop says he refused to say who he was. He was placed under arrest for resisting.

When his Jeep was searched, a "glass smoking device" was found in the center console ... and the bowl area appeared to be used, but cleaned -- with a small amount of green, leafy plant material on it, suspected to be cannabis.

After Coleman popped up, Terry arrived as well ... and wanted to know what was going on with her friend. She was ultimately given a ticket for stopping on a limited-access highway and was free to leave.
