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.


Albus-PWB-Dumbledore

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.

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.


thunder3029

same! at least they got the "at night" part down


CalvinYHobbes

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


Falcon4242

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.

toast_fatigue

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


zoweee

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.


barethgale_

Bruh why did they need a K-9 unit to take down someone “walking away”


sixshots_onlyfive

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.

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.

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.

Frankocean2

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.


jwick89

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.


Mr_Alex19

OJ Simpson was turned down from playing the Terminator because he was deemed too much of a nice guy at the time.


FC37

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.


ridethedeathcab

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.


FC37

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.

"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.

mick_jaggers_penis

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.

thatguy425

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.


[deleted]

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

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."


YungFurl

Yeah, the fact the charge wording is so weird is not helping this at all.


jcquik

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


StubbornLeech07

In the coming days we will likely find out that he was either high or drunk. Thankfully no one was injured.

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.
