Super Bowl-winning cornerback Richard Sherman was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Washington early Saturday morning, according to multiple reports citing Washington State Patrol.
The Seattle Times reported that a judge in King County, Washington had found “probable cause that [the] former Seahawk” was driving under the influence.
He was stopped just after 2 a.m. on Interstate 405 in the city of Renton for going 79 miles per hour in a 60 mile per hour zone, the Seattle Times said.
“Sherman reportedly told troopers he had two margaritas,” the Times reported. “He refused a breathalyzer but agreed to do some voluntary tests, according to [police]…Troopers said they observed signs he was under the influence and arrested him.”
Additional reporting by ESPN confirmed that one of the responding officers noticed “‘the odor of intoxicants'” from Sherman’s breath and that he had “‘bloodshot and watery eyes.'”
“It’s been in Ohio as early as the mid-1850s at least, brought in as an ornamental plant because of its unique foliage and white flowers,” Gardner said. “It was actually planted in people’s landscaping, and it has been spreading.”
He is expected to have a court hearing on Monday, ESPN said.
Sherman, a Compton native and graduate of Manuel Dominguez High School, was previously arrested for DUI and four other misdemeanor charges in July 2021.
He eventually pleaded guilty to two of the misdemeanors while also being sentenced for first-degree negligent driving, second-degree criminal trespass and speeding in a roadway construction zone.
