Future Hall of Famer Richard Sherman was arrested early this morning in Washington for "burglary domestic violence" ... and has been denied bail, TMZ Sports has learned.
The 33-year-old NFL free agent was booked into the King County Correctional Facility in Seattle at 6:08 AM ... and is currently sitting behind bars.
The Burglary Domestic Violence charge is a felony in Washington state ... and can carry a lengthy prison sentence, if convicted.
The details surrounding the arrest are not yet clear.
Sherman -- who played with the San Francisco 49ers last season -- is one of the best players of his generation. RS is a 5x Pro Bowler, Super Bowl Champ, and a lock to be immortalized in Canton, Ohio.
We've reached out to Sherman's rep ... but so far, no word back.
Story developing ...
Well, I guess he’s not a future hall of famer anymore.
His wife made the following statement:
“At this time we’re going to make no statements, except he didn’t harm anybody,” Moss told Seahawks beat writer Bob Condotta. “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.”
Sounds like the children were there to witness it. That’s too bad. He and his wife had the children prior to being married iirc. Read where they were married in 2018 in a fancy wedding (of course).
However, the time line is backwards.
He crashed his car - then walked a relatively short distance to a "family member's home."
My guess - he just wanted a place to hide, they would not let him in, then a mixture of anger and panic caused him to try to kick the door in.
