Former Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers star Richard Sherman was booked into a jail in Seattle on Wednesday morning, accused of “burglary domestic violence.”

The King County Correctional Facility lists Sherman as being booked at 6:08 a.m. Online records say bail was denied, though it was unlikely Sherman would have had a court appearance yet.

The incident is being investigated as a felony. It wasn’t immediately clear if Sherman had an attorney.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter added that state police are investigating Sherman for a single-car accident from the same evening. They are looking into damage to a Department of Transportation property that involved a hit-and-run and a concrete barrier.

The car was driven away from the scene and abandoned, and the registration when it was found was linked to Sherman, Schefter added.

A spokesman from the Redmond Police Department, without confirming the name of the person taken into custody, told ESPN that a person called 911 after an adult male family member was “attempting to force his way into the home,” which was not his. That man fought with police before being arrested.

The National Football League Players Association released a statement on Wednesday regarding Sherman’s arrest. He is one of three vice presidents on the union’s board of officers.

Sherman became a Seattle sports legend during seven seasons with Seahawks. The cornerback was a star in their run to a 2014 Super Bowl victory, making a game-saving play to deflect a pass in the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.

He left the Seahawks after the 2017 season and then played three seasons with San Francisco.

The 33-year-old is currently a free agent.
