Published | Updated

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, getting name-dropped.

The report states cops were driving north on State Road 429 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 at one point reached up to 104 MPH.

NOT SO SANITARY!!!

Philippine Airlines may want to invest in a certified plumber to fly with the rest of its crew ... because a recent bathroom accident caught attendants with their pants down.

Horrifying video has come out from a recent 15-hour flight from Los Angeles to the Philippines ... which shows crew members manually removing human waste from the toilet and putting it in the sink after all 11 onboard toilets failed mid-flight.

Watch the video at your own risk ... a worker -- wearing gloves and a thin surgical mask -- repeatedly dips what looks like a bucket into the overflowing toilet and removes waste, which is then drained down the sink. It's unclear how long the worker had to repeat this action.

Luigi Mangione Will Not Face Death Penalty

Published

Huge win for Luigi Mangione ... the trial judge just ruled the death penalty is officially off the table.

The feds wanted the judge to rule that the stalking charges they filed against Mangione were a "crime of violence" -- and proving a crime of violence is a prerequisite for opening the door to even charging Mangione federally with murder. The judge ruled stalking is NOT a crime of violence ... the upshot is that Mangione can't even be charged with murder in the federal case. All he can be charged with is stalking, which carries a maximum sentence of life without parole.

Mangione is still charged in state court with murder, although in New York, there is no death penalty.

Prosecutors did win a victory ... the judge ruled the evidence searched and found in his backpack was admissible in the trial. The defense argued the evidence should not be admissible because the feds didn't have a search warrant. So now, the jury will see the gun found in Mangione's backpack, and his diary ... which prosecutors say is like a manifesto.

Kendall Jenner Banging A Bengal??? ... Joe Burr-no

Two doctored images popped ups on social media late Thursday night ... making it look like the model and NFL quarterback posted each other on their Instagram accounts around the same time before hitting the "delete" button.

The fake Kendall post shared a pic of Burrow rocking a green hat ... the same shot he posted himself earlier in the day. The bogus Burrow image showed Kendall sitting at a table and covering her face with a wine glass.
