Amazon and FOX Sports NFL Analyst Richard Sherman was arrested on suspicion of DUI early Saturday morning. According to a report, Sherman was stopped by the Washington State Patrol for going 79 mph within a 60 mph zone around 2 a.m. local time in Bellevue.
Sherman was asked if he’d had any alcohol and reportedly told authoirities he had two margaritas. Sherman was also said to have agreed to a voluntary test. The report states there was an “odor of intoxicants” and Sherman’s eyes were bloodshot.
The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said in a statement that Sherman was expected to have a court hearing Monday.
In 2022, Sherman plead guilty in Seattle to two misdemeanor charges stemming from a drunken driving and domestic disturbance in 2021. He also admitted to a criminal infraction of speeding in a roadway construction zone.
Sherman had an 11-year NFL career, 7 of those with the Seattle Seahawks. He has been working as a member of FS1’s Undisputed and appears on Amazon Prime Video’s Thursday Night Football as a pregame, halftime and postgame analyst. He also hosts a podcast, The Richard Sherman Podcast, in partnership with Colin Cowherd’s The Volume. There has been no word yet on if any of Sherman’s employers or partners will take action as a result of the DUI arrest.
