Richard Sherman was booked into King County Jail for DUI just after 3:45 a.m. Saturday.
KING COUNTY, Wash. — Former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was arrested overnight for suspicion of DUI, the Washington State Patrol confirmed.
Sherman was booked into King County Jail just after 3:45 a.m. Saturday. According to probable cause documents, Sherman was stopped on southbound Interstate 405 at around 2 a.m. after he was caught driving 79 mph in a 60 mph zone and a trooper observed that his car was “travel(ing) within the lane.” Sherman said he had two margaritas when asked if he had anything to drink that night.
A trooper noted some indications that Sherman was potentially inebriated after he agreed to do some voluntary sobriety tests, according to court documents. Sherman declined to do a breathalyzer test.
While speaking to Sherman, the trooper noticed the “odor of intoxicants,” and that Sherman had bloodshot, watery eyes. At that point he was put under arrest for suspicion of a DUI.
On Saturday, a King County District Court judge found probable cause for a DUI charge. Sherman’s first court appearance is scheduled for Monday.
Sherman was a member of the Seattle Seahawks’ 2014 and 2015 Super Bowl teams and an integral part of the team’s Legion of Boom – a nickname for one of the greatest defensive lineups in the NLF at the time.
The cornerback was instrumental in their 2014 Super Bowl victory, making a game-saving play to deflect a pass in the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.
