NFL Star Charged By Authorities
Shortly after the call, Richard Sherman was arrested in Washington and charged with "burglary domestic violence." He has been denied bail and is currently serving jail time.
The charge is considered a felony in the state; he is expected to stay behind bars for a long time if convicted.
In early reports, before he was finally arrested, he was taken down by a K9 unit after he tried breaking into a house in Redmond. The home is reportedly owned by one of his family members.
Authorities revealed that Sherman was "uncooperative and combative" as they question him.
Washington State Patrol was also involved in the investigation as they believe Sherman crashed his car into a cement barrier before going to his family member's house.
Aside from his charges, police officials are also looking into a possible hit-and-run and DUI.
Sherman later abandoned the crashed vehicle in a parking lot. In recent reports, authorities got a warrant to do bloodwork on Sherman to find out whether he's impaired at the time of the driving incident.
There was no further information released on when he's going to appear in court.
