Richard Sherman, defensive back most recently with the San Francisco 49ers, was arrested this morning on burglary and domestic violence charges.

Sherman was booked at the King County Correctional Facility in Seattle shortly after six this morning. According to ESPN:

… a 911 call from the residence was received at 2 a.m. PT. The person calling said that an adult male family member who did not live at the residence was attempting to force his way into the home.

When police arrived, the suspect was located outside the home. He fought with police but was eventually apprehended and taken to a local hospital to be checked but was cleared and then booked …

Sherman, currently a free agent, has in his career won a Super Bowl during his time with the Seattle Seahawks. He has been selected First-Team All-Pro three times and been named to the Pro Bowl five times.
