A King County judge has released former Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman without bail, per multiple reports. He was arrested on Wednesday morning and booked on "burglary domestic violence" charges. It's worth noting that the "domestic violence" designation was assigned due to the cornerback being related to individuals inside the residence where the incident took place.
Sherman is expected to appear in court on Friday at 8 a.m. for a second hearing on four charges. None are felonies. According to Amy Dash of CBS Sports and FOX Sports, the state is not asking for a burglary charge against Sherman, downgrading it to criminal trespass — a misdemeanor — with a domestic violence designation. The other three charges are malicious mischief, DUI, and resisting arrest.
"I see Mr. Sherman is a pillar in this community, he's a business owner, he's a husband, he's a father... I'm gonna release Mr. Sherman,"
the judge said, per Dash.
Sherman has been ordered to have no contact with his wife, Ashley Moss, or father-in-law.
The 911 call placed by Moss on Wednesday stated that Sherman was
intoxicated and threatened suicide. He reportedly
crashed his vehicle before abandoning it in a nearby parking lot and making his way to the residence belonging to his in-laws.
Police arrested Sherman outside the residence. Redmond police released the 911 audio and case reports from the arrest.
Earlier today, 49ers general manager John Lynch told NBC Sports Bay Area that he reached out to Sherman and his wife, offering resources and support.
"More than anything, just praying for them,"
Lynch said via Matt Maiocco. "They're good people. Just praying that they find their way through this, and we'll support them any way we can."

Rapoport: 49ers send clear message to teams inquiring about Brandon Aiyuk
Ian Rapoport didn't offer much of an update on the ongoing contract negotiations between the San Francisco 49ers and their standout wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk. However, the NFL insider emphasized one thing: The team is not entertaining trade discussions at this juncture.
Reacting to Aiyuk's decision to unfollow the 49ers on Instagram, Rapoport couldn't help but chuckle at the latest development. This practice has become commonplace among players who are unhappy with their contract situations. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel similarly took this action in 2022 before requesting to be traded just before the draft.
Things have yet to escalate that far with Aiyuk, but Rapoport sees his
7-round mock draft from The Athletic sees 49ers fortifying defense early
Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week.
"Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote.
Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football. In fact, Brugler doesn't have San Francisco
