Richard Sherman, the former Seattle Seahawks and San Fransisco 49ers star, was arrested in Redmond, Washington, after allegedly attempting to break into his in-laws' home, police said Wednesday. Sherman, 33, was booked in a Seattle jail and is suspected of crashing his vehicle earlier in the night.
Around 1:30 a.m., the Washington State Patrol said they received a call about a driver who entered a construction site and struck a barrier while attempting to exit, causing significant damage. They said the driver fled the scene, but the vehicle was registered to Sherman, who could also face charges for that incident. Around 2 a.m., police said they were called to a robbery in progress and discovered Sherman allegedly trying to break into the home. Sherman allegedly fought with officers and they were forced to use a police dog to subdue him, police said. He was taken to a nearby hospital to check for injuries and later booked in the King County Correctional Facility on a charge of burglary domestic violence.Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
