We continue to get new details on the Richard Sherman, and things continue to look worse for the free agent cornerback. In addition to his arrest for “burglary domestic violence,” Sherman is also being investigated for a hit and run and “damage to state Department of Transportation property,” Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets.
“State police say that at about 1:00 a.m. PT, they received a report of a single-car incident” where a car struck a concrete barrier, Schefter writes. The driver of the car “was able to drive the vehicle off the exit and abandoned it in a nearby parking lot. The registration was run, and it came back to Richard Sherman.”
That’s not good. That apparently happened at 1 a.m., and then the call to police from a relative of Sherman’s partner was placed at 2 a.m. The phone call alleged Sherman was trying to force his way into the home, and he was arrested when police arrived.
Meanwhile, a report from TMZ has more details on the arrest. According to TMZ police are claiming that Sherman “became uncooperative and combative during questioning,” and that a K9 was eventually deployed to take him down.
That would explain why he was taken to a local hospital to check for injuries. It’s a scary and sad situation, and one that could take a while to play out.
This isn’t shocking, but an NFL spokesman confirmed to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times that Sherman could face discipline from the league depending on the outcome of the case (Twitter link). No matter what, this certainly won’t help his slow-developing free agency, and don’t expect to see him signed any time soon.
The state property concrete barrier will never hold in court unless they can prove exactly where t happened
And they gotta put him behind the wheel…
The construction worker that called 911 on him can certainly do that.
Maybe not, but I’d say that’s low on his list of concerns given the other events of the night.
this dude had a rough night
Probably hanging with AB.
Sounds like he hit the Concrete barrier than tried moving it out of the way into a lot where it wasnt in anyones way.. How is that even an issue?? You call it in to report you hit a barrier if you want too but how is that even a hit and run.. When you listed the article as a hit and run before you click on that it makes people think he hit someones car and ran off or he hit a Squad car or govnt car ran off where as in reality he hit a barrier simple.. Now the breaking in i dont understand.. No key or why was he trying to get it.. It sounds like more of a personal issue since a realtive of the person he is seeing..
Reading all the reports it sounds like he may have been drunk, hit something, someone else called the police, he left the scene, realized he couldn’t make it home with a damaged car, left the car, walked to someone’s house, tried to break in, cops came, he didn’t cooperate with the cops, a police K9 took him down, then he was taken to the hospital, released, and arrested.
Fleeing an accident is a crime- and If he hit a non-moving barrier he was more than likely impaired, another crime…
It’s a hit and run, and they reported it correctly as such. If he damaged the barrier, he damaged property. Someone has to pay for that, correct?
He also abandoned the vehicle, which looks super sketchy. If it’s a simple accident, just call and report it as such. Failure to do so is a crime. All-in-all a very bad night for Sherman given what happened later as well.
Apparently you haven’t heard the TWO 911 calls from his wife from a few hours earlier. It might change your mind. He said he would fight the cops if they were called and he was heading to his in-laws house. So he was intent on doing something.
And the Legion of Boom is finally dead. Chancellor retired, Thomas apparently is crazy and no Sherm has lost his mind too… so sad to see.
I don’t think your considered officially crazy in Seattle until you call for a one yard pass in the Super Bowl.
why don’t you put more blame on the guy who threw the pick?
So Mr. BigMouth shows he’s human. No matter, the NFL and the local Prosecutor will sweep this under the rug.
Doubtful.
Resisting arrest, especially if the police had body cams, can’t be “swept under the rug”.
Remember this is Seattle he will end up suing the PD for brutality, all charges will be dropped and he gets a $10 million settlement.
Surprised they even have 911 out there and that number doesn’t ring directly through to a social worker…
He must not know that they are no longer audition for Oz.
Damn racists K9s. They’re destroying this country
