Richard Sherman had the need for speed.
Richard Sherman was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Washington on Saturday morning. According to the police report, the former Seattle Seahawks star was driving at a speed of 79 miles per hour in a 60 mph zone when he was pulled over for suspected driving under the influence.
Reports indicate that Sherman admitted to consuming a couple of drinks. Police noted bloodshot eyes and the presence of alcohol odor during the encounter, as detailed in the report.
“Court documents show that Sherman was going 79 miles per hour in a 60 mph zone at roughly 2:00 a.m. Saturday in Bellevue, Washington. Per the paperwork, the authorities asked Sherman if he had consumed alcohol. He said he had two margaritas. The article at CNN says Sherman agreed to a “voluntary test.” The type of test isn’t specified. Usually, authorities ask the driver to submit to a Breathalyzer test. The court documents indicate that Sherman’s eyes were bloodshot and watery, and that authorities noticed an “odor of intoxicants. A judge found probable cause to support DUI charges. Sherman is expected to have a court hearing on Monday to address the conditions of his release. Bail won’t be set until the conditions of release are set, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office told CNN.”
