Free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman is facing several charges,
including one on suspicion of burglary domestic violence, after
he was arrested at his wife's parents' residence in Redmond,
Washington, early Wednesday.
Redmond Police Department Chief Darrell Lowe said at a news
conference Wednesday that Sherman also faces charges of
suspicion of resisting arrest and malicious mischief. In
addition, Washington State Patrol Capt. Ron Mead said at the
news conference that his department is also ready to refer
Sherman to prosecutors for possible misdemeanor DUI and hit-and-
run charges related to a separate incident Wednesday.
Sherman sustained minor lacerations to a lower leg and ankle and
was treated at a local hospital as a result of contact from a
police dog, which was used in his apprehension, Lowe said. An
officer at the scene also received minor injuries, he said.
Sherman was booked at 6:08 a.m. PT Wednesday at the King County
Correctional Facility in Seattle. Records state he was denied
bail, but a spokesman for the Redmond Police Department told
ESPN that is standard procedure for suspects of domestic
violence until they can appear before a judge.
Sherman's hearing before the judge will not take place until
Thursday afternoon. The judge will determine if there was
probable cause for an arrest and also set bail.
The domestic violence component of the charge Sherman faces,
which is a felony, is because of his relation to the occupants
of the residence. The malicious mischief charge is in relation
to the damage he allegedly did to their front door, Lowe said.
No one at the residence sustained injuries and Sherman did not
gain entry into the residence, Lowe said.
Redmond police received a 911 call at approximately 1:49 a.m. PT
from one of the residents of the home, at which at least four
adults were present, saying that Sherman was trying to gain
entrance. Lowe said he was unsure if children were present.
Lowe said that the Washington State Patrol received a 911 call
at approximately 1:26 a.m. PT about a possibly impaired driver
after Sherman allegedly drove his SUV into a closed construction
zone. The call was made by a worker in the construction zone,
Mead said, noting "we're very fortunate there were no injuries."
Police responded and found the vehicle, which had "significant"
damage on the driver's side as a result from contact with a
barrier, in a nearby parking lot. They ran the plates on the
vehicle and determined it was registered to Sherman.
In their efforts to find Sherman, the Washington State Patrol
was alerted to the incident called into Redmond police and went
to that location and assisted in the arrest. Officers and state
troopers tried to calm the situation by developing a rapport
with the football star, authorities said. One trooper told
Sherman how, as a teenager, he worked as a valet and once parked
Sherman's car.
Lowe said the situation between Sherman and police turned after
he was informed they had probable cause to place him under
arrest. At that point, he began to walk away and increased his
pace, at which time the K-9 unit was deployed to aid in the
arrest.
The Washington State Patrol received a blood search warrant and
took a sample from Sherman, Mead said. Those results are still
pending. Lowe said that police could smell an "odor of
intoxicant emitting from [Sherman's] breath."
"At this time we're going to make no statements, except he
didn't harm anybody," Sherman's wife, Ashley Moss, told The
Seattle Times. "My kids were not harmed in the incident. He's a
good person and this is not his character. We're doing all
right, just trying to get him out. I want people to know no one
was injured."
Sherman, 33, completed his third season with the San Francisco
49ers in 2020 after spending the first seven seasons of his
career with the Seattle Seahawks.
The NFL said Wednesday that it "investigates any incident
involving law enforcement and if there is a violation of the
personal conduct policy the player would be facing discipline."
Sherman also is a vice president of the NFL Players
Association's executive committee.
"We were made aware of an arrest last night of one of our player
leaders for an alleged domestic violence incident and have
activated our domestic violence crisis protocol for the
protection and support of everyone involved," the NFLPA said in
a statement. "We will continue to monitor events closely as more
facts are made available to us."
Sherman has been selected to five Pro Bowls and is a three-time
first-team All-Pro in his 10 NFL seasons.
