Key Takeaway
Former NFL star Richard Sherman has been arrested for driving under the influence near Seattle, adding to his legal troubles in recent years.
Legal Troubles
This is not the first time Sherman has faced legal issues. In 2021, he was arrested on a domestic violence burglary charge after allegedly attempting to break down his father-in-law’s door, an incident that was captured on video. Sherman eventually pleaded guilty to one count of negligent driving and one count of criminal trespass for the incident, receiving a 90-day sentence, most of which was suspended. He was also sentenced to monitored supervision for 24 months in March 2022 as part of that deal. It remains unclear how this recent arrest might be impacted by his previous legal troubles.
Professional Career
Sherman, who spent 11 years in the NFL, secured a championship with the Seattle Seahawks in 2014. Following his NFL career, he transitioned into a media role, making appearances as a commentator on Amazon Prime NFL broadcasts.
