Sherm pleads guilty to misdemeanors
Posted: Tue Mar 08, 2022 12:16 amYep. I saw that. There was no mention what his BAC was, but presumably it must have been .15 or less or they likely wouldn't have reduced the charge to negligent driving. Sounds pretty standard for first time DUI offenders.
Former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman pleaded guilty to first-degree negligent driving and second-degree criminal trespass, as well as speeding in a construction zone, as part of a plea deal reached Monday in King County District Court.
According to court documents, Sherman is required to pay $2,500 for the two misdemeanor charges and the traffic infraction, and additional court fees.
Sherman was given a 90-day suspended sentence for each count, with two days credit given from his initial arrest. He was assigned to have monitored supervision for the next two years. He will not serve any further jail time unless he violates the terms of the agreement.
Sherman must stay out of any further trouble, which includes any criminal, alcohol or drug-related offenses. As conditions of his sentence, Sherman is required to have a mandatory interlock device on his vehicle. Sherman has also been ordered to attend Alcohol and Drug Information School and attend a DUI Victim's Panel.
The King County prosecutor's office said the resolution was in line with comparable cases.
“Mr. Sherman did not get special treatment one way or the other,” spokesman Casey McNerthney wrote, via Yahoo! Sports.
