Former All-Pro Richard Sherman, who now is a noted NFL analyst, was arrested in Seattle early Saturday for suspicion of DUI.

Fox 13 in Seattle reported that Sherman was booked into King County Jail for a DUI at 4:51 a.m. Saturday, local time. There were no other details available. A spokesperson for the King County Prosecutor’s Office said no charges filed against Sherman had been sent to their office as of Saturday afternoon.

This is not the first time Richard Sherman has faced legal issues. In March 2022, he pleaded guilty to first-degree negligent driving, second-degree criminal trespass along with speeding in a construction zone back. This was all part of a plea deal relating to an incident from the summer before. The judge gave him a 90-day suspended sentence and ordered him to pay a fine of $2,500. Sherman also faced two years of monitored supervision. If he stayed out of legal trouble, the judge said, he would not serve any jail time. He also had to install an interlock device in his car. The deal also required him to attend Alcohol and Drug Information School and a DUI Victim’s Panel.

Richard Sherman’s first sentence in Seattle has yet to expire

The two years on the plea deal have yet to expire.

In the first incident, Sherman crashed his car in a construction zone and abandoned it. He then walked to his in-laws home. Police said he damaged the home and got into an argument through a closed front door with someone inside.
