The Richard Sherman situation popped up as I was wrapping up today’s Bullets, with ESPN’s Adam Schefter tweeting: “Free-agent CB Richard Sherman was booked at 6:08 this am at the Seattle Correctional Facility for “Burglary Domestic Violence”, per King County public records. Sherman also was denied bail.”
Things have since evolved since this morning’s initial report:
News: King County public records show that Richard Sherman has been booked for “Burglary Domestic Violence.”
The “INV” means it’s being investigated as a felony. pic.twitter.com/kz5qZp051S

The driver apparently 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. https://t.co/WvJgxn9OfX

Richard Sherman’s wife, Ashley Moss, told The Seattle Times: “He didn’t harm anybody. 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.”

Redmond police chief Darrell Lowe: Richard Sherman tried to break into house of his ex-in-laws around 2am. Domestic violence specification to the burglary charge is for his relations of address’ occupants, “not because of violence against any family member/significant other” pic.twitter.com/BE4v6EvCTy

There is a lot going on here. And this is clearly a still-developing situation involving Sherman, a 33-year-old free agent cornerback who is just one year removed from being a Pro Bowler. We’ll continue to monitor what seems to be a delicate situation on multiple fronts. For more, you can check out stories from NFL.com and ESPN.
