Former NFL star and Amazon Prime analyst Richard Sherman has been arrested for DUI.

Fox 13 in Seattle reported the arrest before it was confirmed by Washington State Patrol and King County Jail records show he was booked at 7:51am on Saturday.

Sherman, a cornerback, won the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks in 2014 and was a five-time Pro Bowl selection.

He also played for the San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers during 11 seasons in the NFL.

Sherman worked on Amazon Prime’s Thursday Night Football broadcast last season.

Washington State Patrol said the incident remains under investigation and more details will only become available when the Prosecutor’s Office files the case. 

In March 2022, Sherman pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges stemming from a drunken driving and domestic disturbance in the summer of 2021, as part of an agreement that spared him further jail time.

Sherman was arrested after police said he crashed his SUV in a construction zone and tried to break into his in-laws’ suburban Seattle home where his wife Ashley and their children were staying.

His father-in-law, Raymond Moss, told officers that he armed himself with a handgun and fired pepper-spray at Sherman to protect his family. Ashley later called 911.

Sherman, who said after the arrest he was ‘deeply remorseful,’ pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts, first-degree negligent driving and second-degree criminal trespass.

He also admitted to a criminal infraction of speeding in a roadway construction zone.

Sherman, 33, 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 is also the founder of the Blanket Coverage Foundation, a charity that provides low-income students with school supplies and clothes.
