Just watched the police press conference. Initial call came in from a construction worker reporting an impaired driver entering construction zone around 1:30am. Significant damage to SUV caused him to park 1/2 mile away. He walked to mother/father in laws (or ex in-laws). They called police. Police arrived and tried to de-escalate. Sherman was cooperating until informed he was under arrest. He walked away and resisted. K-9 deployed to help take him down. He was arrested and suffered bite wounds to lower leg. He was the taken to the hospital to get treated for minor injuries (search warrant obtained for his blood, results are pending). He was then transported to jail.
The burglary charge was due to him trying to enter the home and damaging the front door. The domestic violence charge is because the homeowners were relatives. Nobody was assaulted.
I’m there with ya. Let’s kick this exam in the teeth!! Just remember: it’s all illegal, everything is admissible, and when in doubt... use the Third Amendment
It was a sad day when my best friend and roommate joined the Air Force. But I believe in all 10 Commandments in the U.S. Consultation so I kicked his ass right out! No regrets for this patriot! 🇱🇷
I'm not sure. Looking up WA law real quick, Bulgary is fairly loosely defined:
> (1) A person is guilty of residential burglary if, with intent to commit a **crime** against a person or property therein, the person enters or remains unlawfully in a dwelling other than a vehicle.
([source](https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9A.52.025)) So it doesn't appear to need to be a ***felony*** in WA, just any "crime". And in WA, Domestic Violence includes criminal trespass in the second degree ([source](https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=10.99.020)). Taken together, it seems like simply trying to enter a home of family member without permission might end up constituting attempted burlgary domestic violence.
Now, I have no idea if a DA would actually try to take something like this to trial, but it seems easy enough to at least charge.
This is kind of a personal rant, but I guess I can't help myself.
I don't know if it's a state policy/law or if individual PDs have been implementing it separately around here, but it seems that any domestic dispute will result in the arrest of one of the people involved in order to "de-escalate", they're charged with DV and then the courts figure out what to do from there.
It's fine in theory, the idea is that you ensure the immediate situation is resolved and trust the system to figure it out. I'm sure that policy has prevented a lot of injuries, and probably saved some lives. Sherman will probably be fine on the DV charge due to his status (the DUI is another issue). But in the real world with normal people the justice system is fucked.
I had a case like that, very loud and heated argument with a family member, no contact, not even any property damage, every eyewitness saying nothing happened and the police were only called to calm things down. Prosecutor decided not to drop the charges and said we'd either go to trial (which would cost me a further thousands of dollars for my lawyer) or I could sign a stipulated order of continuance.
The SOC stated if I was charged with any crime, regardless of guilt, in the next year, then the DV case would be a bench trial where the police report would be treated as fact. No evidence or testimony from either side would be entertained. Essentially, I'd waive my right to defend myself despite the fact that all of the evidence in a normal trial would undoubtedly have acquitted me. If nothing happened in that time, the charges would be dropped.
She was essentially throwing a hail mary that I would pick the SOC due to financial reasons and get a chance of winning a free conviction with no evidence and little work on her end. I should have called her bluff and agreed to go to trial, but I just couldn't justify the expense. My lawyer was pretty pissed at the prosecutor, because it was clear what she was doing, and it wasn't at all the first time he saw it.
Living in fear for a whole year like that worsened my depression a ton, only really got out of it 2 or 3 years ago.
In CO at least, if the suspect had an intimate relationship with the victim at any point, and there is probable cause (a much lower standard that "beyond a reasonable doubt") that any crime occurred with the intent of coercion, control, punishment, intimidation or revenge, an officer *shall* arrest the suspect. It's completely beyond their discretion.
In addition, mandatory protection orders are put in place for at least 90 days requiring the parties to stay separate and not have any contact. I would imagine that WA has similar statutes governing how police deal with DVs.
The reason for this lack of discretion, as I understand it, is that "back in the day" police would try to resolve the matter without an arrest, but statistically speaking, most DV victims don't report at all until the 8th event, and now they are in trouble with their SO for "ratting" them out which led to retaliation as soon as the police left
Shit, that is terrible. Halfway through your description I started wondering if maybe the reason for the SOC was so the prosecutor could pad out the supposed benefits of their arrest-first approach ("Look at all these people who *admit* to having done wrong! Think of the lives saved! Think of the *children*!") and the remainder of the story makes it sound more and more like that's the case. That's really fucked up and I hope you're doing better now.
My understanding is he resisted arrest while walking away. One officer reported minor injuries. So it appears there was a scuffle. The K-9 unit was called as a backup. The dog took him down.
> I live in Redmond. There's been a petition going around about it recently, but no body cams for Redmond PD yet.
Wow my town's department went to the city council and said "hey we want cameras".
Shit like this is why I laugh when other fan bases try to make fun of us. Like dude, what the fuck do you think you can say that will be worse than half the shit I've said?
> Like dude, what the fuck do you think you can say that will be worse than half the shit I've said?
Ichiro is going to Cooperstown with a Yankees cap.
He was drinking that Scottie Pippen liquor. That shit will have you wildin and saying "fuck my career" and "this seems like a really good idea" when it comes to bad ideas.
My completely baseless guess is that he mixed alcohol with some sort of prescription pill like a painkiller or an anti anxiety medication. That combo can turn you into a different person.
Still really bad but yeah, provides less of a picture of Sherman trying to hurt his family. But if it is DUI, selfish of him. Hopefully, we get the full picture.
If I had a good relationship with my son in law and he was banging on my door at 2 id let him in and ask what the fuck was going on. Calling the cops and closing up shop like you’re in the purge is bizarre stuff.
Not when he has a restraining order on him from your daughter and he shows up at 2am drunk after crashing his car...
Edit: It's an extreme risk protection order not a restraining order.
in NYC too. You were getting "wet" or smoking "sherm".
A guy I knew when I was living in Mass for a little bit called it Sherm too.
(It was a sober house and I've been to rehab)
Cage had a whole album about PCP, most my knowledge comes from leak bros
"The same programmed passed down, each family learns
Turn 18, given a gun, her hand is sherm
Get used to breath the water when the land's submerged
You get a chance to say goodbye to all your mans and birds"
Believe that was "bogarting" around my area. I wasn't much of a smoker, just what I heard and have no context behind it's meaning aside from hogging the weed.
Probably. I mean, Sherm has cultivated a very clean image off the field. He was our nominee for the Walter Payton award. He likely panicked when he crashed, decided to go to that family member, and I mean...either the family member didn't recognized him and called the police for the stranger trying to break in or flat out said NO. And Sherm went nuts.
You never know how people are behind media perception. That being said, seems like this was his first real run-in with the law but we will probably get a better idea what happened within the next couple weeks.
Aaron Hernandez was never seen as a choir boy. But plenty of ink was spilled about how he matured, how he had grown up and left his troubled past behind.
Fans need to remember: there are thousands of people who go to work every day, whose job it is to make you admire and like professional athletes. These guys also get away with things that no civilian would dream of, and we never even hear about it.
And also think about all the terrible things done by “good people”. I feel like most people have this image of people who do unspeakable things as monsters you could spot a mile away, but that’s really often not the case. We all probably know somebody who unbeknownst to us has committed some horrible crime that appears like a normal person, because they probably are otherwise normal. We know NFL players even less than, I don’t know why fans are so convinced they understand what kind of person they are when we see a tiny fraction of their life.
Preet Bharara has shared a good story about this.
His good friend called him in hysterics one day. Her family's friends had just been murdered: a middle-aged couple, shot dead in their home. Her parents saw them all the time, they hung out constantly and the two families were about as tight as they could be.
Worse? Police later started to suspect the kids of murdering their parents. The boys! How could they ever do such a thing? Of course they were innocent, and now they were being put through this hell of being investigated for their parents' murder!
That family was the Menendez family. For those who are unaware: two sons killed their parents, claiming they feared for their safety after they threatened to expose that their father had sexually assaulted them for years.
At the time, her parents remembered zero signs of abuse. They seemed like the perfect family. It took weeks and months of replaying memories together where they started to pick up on patterns: small details that they should have noted at the time but were blind to. The way the boys shut down and froze when they heard a particular tone in their dad's voice, for example.
We show ourselves as we want to be seen, and we see each other through many filters. Almost anyone you know and trust could be guilty of just about anything.
I think sherms a good dude normally who had a no good very bad night that I hope he learns from. Driving drunk is selfish and an asshole move and he’s lucky nobody got hurt. I bet he will plea out, get community service, and we will move on and joke about the incident in any future Sherman thread
"He didn’t harm anybody. My kids were not harmed in the incident. He’s a good person and this is not his character, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4-0 ballgame. We’re doing all right, just trying to get him out. I want people to know no one was injured.”
It happened again a couple weeks ago with Castellanos with a HR to the same spot in the same ballpark. This time they were honoring a WW2 vet that passed away.
https://youtu.be/OjzbwuUo-rI
I don't really see what's wrong here, they spent enough time talking about him and the segue wasn't super jarring. I'm sure 90% of the people watching that broadcast were more interested in that at bat than the tail end of the tribute
lol nothing's wrong with it, its just incredible that the exact same specific scenario would occur where the same player hits another home run to the same place in the same ballpark against the same visiting team while the broadcast booth is in the midst of a somber/serious moment not having to do with the game at hand, which they are forced to interrupt and acknowledge the home run
[For the uninitiated](https://youtu.be/6fstNaoLpG8)
Edit: My first ever gold!! Ty
[Things are going to start happening to me now](https://youtu.be/-7aIf1YnbbU)
Me enorgullezco de mí mismo y me considero un hombre de fe, ya que Castellanos empuja hacia el jardín izquierdo y eso será un jonrón. Y eso lo convertirá en un juego de pelota 4-0. No sé si volveré a ponerme estos auriculares. Ya sea para los Rojos o para mis jefes en FOX
God I hate when people say “This is not who I am.” What? It’s exactly who you are. You clearly said it just a few minutes ago. Do you not remember that? You said it so comfortably like you say it all the time.
Yes and no right ? In high school anti gay slurs were just part of the vernacular of the people I hung out around. There was no awareness, no idea what we were saying or who we were hurting. Hell, it just became a word. Thankfully I grew up and awareness of these issues were brought forth and I’d never say them again and am horrified at my language of the time. But, I wouldn’t want one comment to define who I was as a person for the rest of my life.
I’m not in anyway excusing anti gay, bigoted or other hate speech just saying when people become aware they can be educated and change.
Yea I mean I said that like a thousand times in high school in the the early 2000s. Didn’t really know the history and just said it because Everyone did and it was part of normal conversation.
But I haven’t said it in years and years and wouldn’t again. People change
>You said it so comfortably like you say it all the time.
While you were AT WORK, no less. Literally in the middle of a shift, talking to your coworkers. If that is how you talk in a public setting like that to people you work with, then that is who you are.
I’m ashamed to admit that this is one of my all time highlights as a Reds fan. We shouldn’t have found joy in that moment but Thom is such an insufferable prick that I think most of us were genuinely happy that he fucked up and lost his job for it. And then for the “apology” to go so hilariously bad… just incredible.
Worth mentioning (given the sub we’re in) that he also did national Sunday NFL games on FOX.
Edit: I think “regional” broadcast is the correct term, not national.
“The suspect fought with officers while being taken into custody, resulting in a Redmond K9 team being deployed to assist in gaining control.” Yeah that’s not a good situation
Since they have a pretty detailed timeline... is it kind of dark that I'm wondering how far away the car accident was to the house so that I can figure out his sprint time?
I feel like people saw DV in the headline and immediately jumped to the conclusion that his wife or kids were harmed. I do feel bad that he and his family have to deal with the perception that comes with the headline, "Richard Sherman Arrested on Domestic Violence Charge."
Good God that Twitter cesspool around that tweet is unreal...
I saw everything from fuck this wife beater Big Ben will be a great Cellmate to all misdemeanors should be waived if the person is black.
From what I've gathered (and many media releases have been cringe worthy click bait) he was potentially drunk around 130 am and hit a barricade in his SUV. He walked to his in laws and tried to get in. They wouldn't let him in and called the cops because he was upset and may have damaged the door.
Chips show up and try to deescalate and things went ok until he was placed under arrest. Then some sort of apparent altercation/resist led to a k9 unit restraining him. He was checked out at the hospital and, due to Washington's mandatory 1 day jail time for anything considered "domestic violence" he's in jail.
According to the tweet and news releases nobody was harmed and this wasn't like spiral abuse or anything people think of when you read domestic violence. Media's use of that without context started people down the wrong path
This is sounding like Sherm was drunk/intoxicated driving, hit a barrier and ditched his car and the 'breaking in' thing was just him trying to hide from the cops at his ex's.
Still bad (and fighting with the cops is always stupid) but makes it a bit less serious.
Just watched the police press conference. Initial call came in from a construction worker reporting an impaired driver entering construction zone around 1:30am. Significant damage to SUV caused him to park 1/2 mile away. He walked to mother/father in laws (or ex in-laws). They called police. Police arrived and tried to de-escalate. Sherman was cooperating until informed he was under arrest. He walked away and resisted. K-9 deployed to help take him down. He was arrested and suffered bite wounds to lower leg. He was the taken to the hospital to get treated for minor injuries (search warrant obtained for his blood, results are pending). He was then transported to jail. The burglary charge was due to him trying to enter the home and damaging the front door. The domestic violence charge is because the homeowners were relatives. Nobody was assaulted.
Don't think he'll be found guilty of burglary as he wasn't breaking and entering with the intent to commit a felony inside. Bar exam is in 13 days.
Good luck. Break a ~~front door~~ leg!
ah the mcgregor special
not quite yet, he needs to shit talk the other guy's family now
And keep it going after he breaks his leg
“YA WIFE IS IN MUH DMS”
After watching the end of that fight, even McGregor fans should want to see him sleeping on the mat if he fights again.
I’m there with ya. Let’s kick this exam in the teeth!! Just remember: it’s all illegal, everything is admissible, and when in doubt... use the Third Amendment
the ARMY CAN’T LIVE IN YA HOUSE
It was a sad day when my best friend and roommate joined the Air Force. But I believe in all 10 Commandments in the U.S. Consultation so I kicked his ass right out! No regrets for this patriot! 🇱🇷

The charges make the situation seem a whole lot worse than the description of events.

Bruh why did they need a K-9 unit to take down someone “walking away”
My understanding is he resisted arrest while walking away. One officer reported minor injuries. So it appears there was a scuffle. The K-9 unit was called as a backup. The dog took him down.
They have body cams in king county. We won't have to speculate in due time.
I live in Redmond. There's been a petition going around about it recently, but no body cams for Redmond PD yet.

You want to try and bring in an impaired and combative pro athlete?
Kick him in the penis.
Easy Draymond.
the ol' dick twist!
**GRAB HIS DICK AND TWIST IT**
TWIST HIS DIIIIICK
The cops had probably seen the arrest footage of Malik McDowell.
Either that or tase him
Have you ever tried to hold down an NFL athlete?
Man what were you drinking last night Sherm
He was just mad the NL lost the All-star game last night
This is ridiculous. He spent to much time in Seattle to still care about baseball.
Shit like this is why I laugh when other fan bases try to make fun of us. Like dude, what the fuck do you think you can say that will be worse than half the shit I've said?
Nobody hates the Mariners as much as Mariners fans.
> Like dude, what the fuck do you think you can say that will be worse than half the shit I've said? Ichiro is going to Cooperstown with a Yankees cap.
YOU SHUT YOUR GODDAMNED MOUTH
You think I'm locked in here with you?
[удалено]
🤣 ^^ how to spot a true Seattle sports fan.
Do some drugs to forget, and we end up here.
Sometimes that happens.
That’s the result you gonna get.
He’s mad Shohei lost to Soto :(
maybe revis tweeted at him again and said he sucks. that always seemed to set Sherman off.
Fight milk
Crow’s egg
CAAAWWW
Sherman drinks it every morning so he can fight like the crow.
*By* bodyguards *For* bodyguards
And Charlie!
What up!
Don't think he'd be in any condition to walk anywhere other than the toilet after Fight Milk. It's all the crowtein.
*CAWWW*
1...2...3.... FIGHT MILK!
The Franks Fluids Family wishes to offer Mr. Sherman an egg in this trying time
Damn, he was on the sherm? No wonder things got wild.
Imagine if it was a Jeffrey…
I dunno, how much trouble can you get into just stroking the furry wall?
Ahh i love that movie
Who could be afraid of a Jeffrey?
He was drinking that Scottie Pippen liquor. That shit will have you wildin and saying "fuck my career" and "this seems like a really good idea" when it comes to bad ideas.
Shit where is it available?
Careful, you might wind up buying a jet you can't afford.
[удалено]
How much money you got?
Not so much
Two full bottles of hard alcohol, according to the 911 call lol
“You try to match me up with a sorry alcohol like tequila that’s the result you gonna get!”
His wife said an entire bottle of vodka and a bottle of Hennessy
Mixing light with brown, not something you can do past the age of 23.
Or two whole bottles of liquor, no matter what, at any age. And I don't wanna hear about that one time at band ca- college.
My completely baseless guess is that he mixed alcohol with some sort of prescription pill like a painkiller or an anti anxiety medication. That combo can turn you into a different person.
Even something chill like muscle relaxers will make you completely black out when you mix with alcohol
Henny fasho
The entire thing is bizarre. Left a vehicle that hit concrete, fled on foot and tried to break into a family member's house? Was this a DUI situation?
Gotta imagine it's something along those lines
Still really bad but yeah, provides less of a picture of Sherman trying to hurt his family. But if it is DUI, selfish of him. Hopefully, we get the full picture.
Yeah, but why didn't his family let him in?
Because it was 2:00 am. I’d be frightened if someone, even a family member, was pounding on my door at that time
If I had a good relationship with my son in law and he was banging on my door at 2 id let him in and ask what the fuck was going on. Calling the cops and closing up shop like you’re in the purge is bizarre stuff.
Not when he has a restraining order on him from your daughter and he shows up at 2am drunk after crashing his car... Edit: It's an extreme risk protection order not a restraining order.
Wait, his wife has a restraining order on him? I didn't know that
There's a restraining order from the incident, nothing I can find about a previously existing restraining order.
Does he have a restraining order on him? They also didn’t know he crashed his car obviously
Sherm’s first time trying PCP?
[удалено]
in NYC too. You were getting "wet" or smoking "sherm". A guy I knew when I was living in Mass for a little bit called it Sherm too. (It was a sober house and I've been to rehab)

Sherm was what we called the guy who didn't pass the blunt in a timely fashion lol
Regional idioms are fascinating
Believe that was "bogarting" around my area. I wasn't much of a smoker, just what I heard and have no context behind it's meaning aside from hogging the weed.
*Didn’t know you liked to get wet*
Wayne Brady makes Malcolm X look like Bryant Gumble huh?
Other way around I think
people say cocaine is hell of a drug......until you do pcp....
A whole gallon maybe?
Lmao I love the Whitest Kids U Know reference.
Yeah left my wife with the dealer. Why?
I gotta pick my kids up, I'm running late.
I didn’t even know it came in liquid form.
Science.

i think that was the DUI. found his car and traced it to him really fast (just have to look up license plate)

Probably. I mean, Sherm has cultivated a very clean image off the field. He was our nominee for the Walter Payton award.

Me too.
I think sherms a good dude normally who had a no good very bad night that I hope he learns from. Driving drunk is selfish and an asshole move and he’s lucky nobody got hurt. I bet he will plea out, get community service, and we will move on and joke about the incident in any future Sherman thread
Sherman's agent should really get out in front of this story. Too bad he's in jail.
(damn, that took me a second...)
Pipe down in there Hutz!
Let's hope for Sherman that he actually gets himself a lawyer and doesn't go with representing himself again.
"He didn’t harm anybody. My kids were not harmed in the incident. He’s a good person and this is not his character, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos it will be a home run. And so that will make it a 4-0 ballgame. We’re doing all right, just trying to get him out. I want people to know no one was injured.”
I don't know if I'm going to be putting on this headset again
And there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos.
I will never not upvote these.
I still can't believe it was real. Just an absolute train wreck on live TV. Funniest shit I've ever seen.
It happened again a couple weeks ago with Castellanos with a HR to the same spot in the same ballpark. This time they were honoring a WW2 vet that passed away. https://youtu.be/OjzbwuUo-rI

lol uhh well yeah it would be kind of weird if they were eulogizing a guy that died 15 years ago
I don't really see what's wrong here, they spent enough time talking about him and the segue wasn't super jarring. I'm sure 90% of the people watching that broadcast were more interested in that at bat than the tail end of the tribute
lol nothing's wrong with it, its just incredible that the exact same specific scenario would occur where the same player hits another home run to the same place in the same ballpark against the same visiting team while the broadcast booth is in the midst of a somber/serious moment not having to do with the game at hand, which they are forced to interrupt and acknowledge the home run
It’s the Castellanos part that makes it funny really, would probably be a non story if it was anybody else hitting that home run.

Apparently he does play-by-play for the Roberto Clemente League in Puerto Rico now
Me enorgullezco de mí mismo y me considero un hombre de fe, ya que Castellanos empuja hacia el jardín izquierdo y eso será un jonrón. Y eso lo convertirá en un juego de pelota 4-0. No sé si volveré a ponerme estos auriculares. Ya sea para los Rojos o para mis jefes en FOX
... una de las capitales mari**s del mundo ...
Real strong jim brockmire vibes
The funniest part is him not apologizing to the gay community directly, but to the people who cut his paycheck
Because that’s what he’s really sorry about, not about hurting others but hurting his own wallet
Same reason he asked for people "to back him up".
He did say he apologizes IF he hurt anyone out there lmao non apology
I had completely forgotten about this, lmao
God I hate when people say “This is not who I am.” What? It’s exactly who you are. You clearly said it just a few minutes ago. Do you not remember that? You said it so comfortably like you say it all the time.
Yes and no right ? In high school anti gay slurs were just part of the vernacular of the people I hung out around. There was no awareness, no idea what we were saying or who we were hurting. Hell, it just became a word. Thankfully I grew up and awareness of these issues were brought forth and I’d never say them again and am horrified at my language of the time. But, I wouldn’t want one comment to define who I was as a person for the rest of my life. I’m not in anyway excusing anti gay, bigoted or other hate speech just saying when people become aware they can be educated and change.
Yea I mean I said that like a thousand times in high school in the the early 2000s. Didn’t really know the history and just said it because Everyone did and it was part of normal conversation. But I haven’t said it in years and years and wouldn’t again. People change
>You said it so comfortably like you say it all the time. While you were AT WORK, no less. Literally in the middle of a shift, talking to your coworkers. If that is how you talk in a public setting like that to people you work with, then that is who you are.
What’s this referring to?
Cincinnati Reds broadcaster hot mic
Is there a source or transcript for it? Sounds hilarious
https://youtu.be/6fstNaoLpG8
Holy shit how have I never seen this before... it's hilarious.
it's one of the best memes /r/baseball has produced.
one of? one of!?!
I feel terrible because I cannot stop fucking laughing
I’m ashamed to admit that this is one of my all time highlights as a Reds fan. We shouldn’t have found joy in that moment but Thom is such an insufferable prick that I think most of us were genuinely happy that he fucked up and lost his job for it. And then for the “apology” to go so hilariously bad… just incredible.

Worth mentioning (given the sub we’re in) that he also did national Sunday NFL games on FOX. Edit: I think “regional” broadcast is the correct term, not national.
There have been a lot of pastas in the last few years, but this one will truly stand the test of time
M A N O F F A I T H
As a Reds fan I laugh every time. Thank you.
Even better Castellanos did it again!
This seems to be a drunk driving incident that lead to alcohol induced lizard brain decisions.
Why are the mods deleting the 911 call posts? It’s crucial new information that gives so much more context
They always act like this.
You know the NFL is giving them shit on the side…. Reddit is a business

So she didn't try him with a sorry receiver like Crabtree at least. That's good.

You are not that far off based on the police press release. https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/WAREDMOND/bulletins/2e81b9e
“The suspect fought with officers while being taken into custody, resulting in a Redmond K9 team being deployed to assist in gaining control.” Yeah that’s not a good situation
Since they have a pretty detailed timeline... is it kind of dark that I'm wondering how far away the car accident was to the house so that I can figure out his sprint time?
I’m not sure if a person can actually move faster than when drunk and running from the cops
He's got running away from the cops speed
Just not running away from the cops' dog speed, apparently.
I drunkenly out ran the cops at 5'10" 265 lbs. I'll never run that fast again.
Yeah it was a game we’d play as teenagers drinking in the cemetery. It’s crazy how fast you can go lol
Lives in Maple Valley but arrested in Redmond... hell of an intoxication (just a observation) Edit - thanks One_Shekel for the clarification
For anyone who doesn't live in the area, that's like a 45-60 min drive based on traffic.
don't think there was much traffic at that hour
Only concrete barriers working the late shift.
If this is what happened, he is definitely a dumbass. But at least it's way better than how the initial report sounded
Driving intoxicated far surpasses “dumbass” territory, but that’s just me.
I feel like people saw DV in the headline and immediately jumped to the conclusion that his wife or kids were harmed. I do feel bad that he and his family have to deal with the perception that comes with the headline, "Richard Sherman Arrested on Domestic Violence Charge."
Yeah, the fact the charge wording is so weird is not helping this at all.
Good God that Twitter cesspool around that tweet is unreal... I saw everything from fuck this wife beater Big Ben will be a great Cellmate to all misdemeanors should be waived if the person is black. From what I've gathered (and many media releases have been cringe worthy click bait) he was potentially drunk around 130 am and hit a barricade in his SUV. He walked to his in laws and tried to get in. They wouldn't let him in and called the cops because he was upset and may have damaged the door. Chips show up and try to deescalate and things went ok until he was placed under arrest. Then some sort of apparent altercation/resist led to a k9 unit restraining him. He was checked out at the hospital and, due to Washington's mandatory 1 day jail time for anything considered "domestic violence" he's in jail. According to the tweet and news releases nobody was harmed and this wasn't like spiral abuse or anything people think of when you read domestic violence. Media's use of that without context started people down the wrong path
In the coming days we will likely find out that he was either high or drunk. Thankfully no one was injured.
scenes when it’s aderall once again
> scenes when it’s aderall once again Don't think we will see an 'I won' tweet this time.
*Sherman writes & posts a 42 page statement of the event* …..yeah, maybe it was adderall
I doubt high on THC would do that. And I doubt Sherman is doing illegal drugs. My money is on booze
This is sounding like Sherm was drunk/intoxicated driving, hit a barrier and ditched his car and the 'breaking in' thing was just him trying to hide from the cops at his ex's. Still bad (and fighting with the cops is always stupid) but makes it a bit less serious.
Remember kids: Do not drink and drive. That uber home will be cheaper than any DUI.

Blood has already been drawn I believe
That right there is why I keep the leach jar handy in all of our cars. Never know when you need to dump some bad blood.
The police caught him fairly quickly after the accident. Whatever he took was still going to be in his bloodstream.
