Worrying details of Richard Sherman’s arrest emerge as wife speaks out

Richard Sherman’s Wednesday arrest in Seattle included a police K9 unit.

The five-time Pro Bowler was booked for “burglary domestic violence” in Redmond, Wash., where he was taken down by a police K9 unit after attempting to break into a family member’s home, according to a Redmond Police Department spokesperson, per TMZ. Sherman is also being investigated for a possible DUI and hit-and-run, according to multiple reports, after a car registered to Sherman was involved in a single-car crash involving a construction-zone barrier.

Redmond public information officer James Perry told NBC Sports Bay Area that no one was injured and that he did not believe Sherman made it into the house.

Sherman’s wife, Ashley Moss, confirmed that information to the Seattle Times.

“At this time we’re going to make no statements, except he didn’t harm anybody,” Moss told the paper. “My kids were not harmed in the incident. He’s a good person and this is not his character. We’re doing all right, just trying to get him out. I want people to know no one was injured.”

Upon arrival to the scene, after receiving a 911 call from family inside the home, police told the website Sherman became uncooperative and combative during questioning.

Police brought in a K9 to help capture Sherman, who allegedly fought with officers on the scene.

“He was cleared medically at a hospital before being booked into jail,” Perry said. “So I believe there was some precautionary treatment after being contacted by the dog. I have to believe any injuries were very minor.”

Sherman was later booked and denied bail. The 33-year-old has not yet been formally charged, according to ESPN, because he hasn’t appeared before a judge. That won’t happen until Thursday afternoon, and Sherman will remain in jail until then.

Washington State Patrol is also involved in the felony case, according to the Redmond P.D. spokesperson, who told TMZ that Sherman allegedly crashed his vehicle before he took off on foot for home.

Following news of his arrest, ESPN’s Adam Schefter said on “SportsCenter” that the 49ers were “taken aback and surprised” over the arrest.

The NFLPA, for which Sherman is one of the vice presidents on the executive committee, released a statement shortly after his arrest.

“We were made aware of an arrest last night of one of our player leaders for an alleged domestic violence incident and have activated our domestic violence crisis protocol for the protection and support of everyone involved,” the statement read. “We will continue to monitor events closely as more facts are made available to us.”

The free-agent cornerback spent the last three seasons with the 49ers, and missed the last 11 games last season due to a calf strain.

The legal news could put a big damper on Sherman’s hopes of being signed by a club for the coming season.

NYS lawmaker who called for Cuomo to quit fumes when asked about joint appearance

A state lawmaker who called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo to resign over sexual harassment allegations appeared with him in Brooklyn on Wednesday and even exchanged kisses afterward — while also exploding in anger when asked about her contradictory actions.

Assemblywoman Diana Richardson (D-Brooklyn) — who, despite the appearance, hasn’t retracted her demand that Cuomo quit his position — blew up when The Post quoted a March statement in which she and state Sen. Zellnor Myrie (D-Brooklyn) said he was no longer “entitled to remain” in office because he’d “irreparably damaged his trustworthiness and ability to lead.”

“I’m here today with the governor because politics is politics, business is business,” Richardson said at Wednesday’s news conference with Cuomo in Brooklyn.

“At the end of the day, we have a job to do.”

Richardson also said that asking about her call for Cuomo’s resignation last March was “inappropriate for the topic of this press conference.”

“We are in a state of emergency,” she said.

“This is not the time for us to be in our emotions and people’s personal endeavors. This is the time to be solution-oriented and focused.”

Richardson added: “If you’re going to ask a question today, please remain on topic. We don’t want divisive questions.”

Myrie was also present but didn’t speak and instead raised his hands in an apparent gesture of resignation when Richardson said, “What I just said is the statement that Sen. Myrie agrees with, as well.”

After the news conference ended, Richardson and Cuomo kissed each other and the governor told her, “I love you” as they stood off to the side.

The event followed a meeting between elected officials and Brooklyn community leaders to discuss the city’s surge in shootings.

Richardson’s mention of “a state of emergency” apparently referred to Cuomo’s July 6 declaration of a state of “disaster emergency” over gun violence across the state.

At the time she and Myrie called on Cuomo to resign, the state was still in the state of disaster emergency that the governor declared in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cuomo lifted that declaration late last month.

Cuomo is the subject of probes by the state Attorney General’s Office and the Assembly Judiciary Committee into allegations that he sexually harassed and groped several current and former female aides.

Cuomo — whose handling of nursing homes amid the pandemic is also being investigated by federal law enforcement authorities — has denied any wrongdoing.
