Richard Sherman was taken into custody at the Seattle Correctional Facility early this morning following an incident with law enforcement at a relative’s house. He was charged with burglary domestic violence after allegedly attempting to enter the residence and engaging in a physical altercation with police upon their arrival.
Law enforcement had to use a K9 unit after trying to peacefully apprehend Sherman without success.
Reports indicate Sherman has been struggling with mental health challenges for several months, with his wife, Ashley Moss, mentioning that he was inebriated and made suicidal threats during her emergency call. Sherman later arrived at his father-in-law’s home in Redmond, Washington, where he was observed attempting to forcibly enter the premises.
Before reaching Raymond Moss’ residence, Sherman was also involved in a car accident. He is facing additional charges of DUI and hit-and-run. Sherman appeared before a judge on Thursday and was released with specific conditions, including an agreement to appear before the court the following day.
