Troubled CB free after arrest
Police: Sherman threatened suicide
A judge ordered former Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers star Richard Sherman released from jail without bail Thursday following his arrest on suspicion of trying to break in to his in-laws’ home.
King County (Wash.) District Court Judge Fa’amomoi Masaniai found probable cause that Sherman committed criminal trespassing, malicious mischief, driving under the influence and resisting arrest. Prosecutors did not ask the judge for a finding on a felony residential burglary allegation for which he was initially booked. They have not yet filed charges.
Masaniai ordered that Sherman not have contact with his father-in-law and that he not use alcohol or nonprescription drugs.
“I love and support my husband,” Sherman’s wife, Ashley Sherman, said in a statement after the hearing. “I am committed to helping Richard get the support and care that he needs.”
Sherman was belligerent, had been drinking heavily and had spoken of killing himself when he left his home in the Seattle suburb of Maple Valley late Tuesday, according to police reports. Ashley Sherman called 911 to try to have police stop him.
He was arrested early Wednesday after police said he crashed his car in a construction zone and then tried to break into his in-laws’ home.
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 as Sherman tried to bust in the door with his shoulder.
AshleySherman told police her husband had been on antidepressants and was receiving mental health counseling.
Steelers
Quarterback Dwayne Haskins, the much-maligned 2019 first-round pick whose off-field issues contributed to his ouster in Washington, was involved in a domestic dispute last weekend, according to multiple news stations in Las Vegas.
KLAS and KTNV reported that his wife, Kalabrya Gondrezick-Haskins, was arrested and charged with domestic battery. Police said she punched Haskins and knocked out a tooth inside the Cosmopolitan hotel July 3.
The arrest report obtained by both media outlets indicates that the two were married in March, about two months after Haskins signed a one-year contract with the Steelers.
Gondrezick-Haskins was charged with battery and domestic violence resulting in bodily harm, a felony, while Haskins was treated for “substantial” facial injuries at a nearby hospital, police said.
Panthers
Carolina agreed to a fouryear, $72 million deal with offensive tackle Taylor Moton, narrowly beating the deadline to sign players with the franchise tag to a contract extension, according to a person familiar with the situation. The deal includes $43 million in guaranteed money.
