Richard Sherman apologizes following arrest
Former Seahawks and 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman has apologized following his arrest for drinking under the influence and attempting to break-and-enter his father-in-law’s home on Tuesday night.
Sherman issued a statement this morning; “I am deeply remorseful for my actions on Tuesday night. I behaved in a manner I am not proud of,” he wrote.
“I have been dealing with some personal challenges over the last several months, but that is not an excuse for how I acted. The importance of mental and emotional health is extremely real and I vow to get the help I need.
“I appreciate all of the people who have reached out in support of me and my family, including our community here in Seattle. I am grateful to have such an amazing wife, family and support system to lean on during this time.”
Video of Sherman attempting to force his way into his wife’s father’s residence was leaked, along with a disturbing 9-1-1 call, prompting many of Sherm’s NFL brethren to offer their support and prayers.
The Stanford grad was released without bail on Thursday with the Washington judge citing his previously unblemished record and work within his community.
The 5x Pro Bowl, Super Bowl winning corner is still an unrestricted free agent. Regardless of whether Sherman and his flowing dreadlocks return to NFL Sundays, everyone at The Worldwide Quarterback wishes him a speedy recovery and continued happiness.
