The bizarre incident happened in their home on Russell Springs, where the victim claims Shorter locked her in the garage with no heat and then returned 40 minutes later to throw water on her. She then escaped to a nearby hotel and called police. A statement from UK Athletics said, "We're aware of the situation and we're gathering information." [LEX 18]
