As part of a plea arrangement, Sherman pleaded guilty to negligent driving in the first degree, criminal trespass in the second degree, and the infraction of speeding in a roadway construction zone, according to King County Court documents.
Sherman, who spent two days in jail after he was arrested, won’t return to detention unless he violates the conditions of two years of monitored court supervision.
He was ordered to pay $500 for the traffic violation and $1,325 in fees. He also owes restitution to his father-in-law, Raymond Moss, and the Washington Department of Transportation, though neither amount was set.
“Richard is grateful to have this matter concluded,” his attorney, Cooper Offenbecher, said. “He is focused on spending time with his family and looks forward to the next steps in his career.”
Sherman’s original charges included second-degree criminal trespass with a domestic violence designation and malicious mischief in the third degree with a domestic violence designation.
Not long after he was arrested, Sherman released a statement saying he was remorseful for his actions and that he has been “dealing with some personal challenges over the last several months.”
Sherman, a three-time All-Pro, is set to be a free agent after spending the past season with Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He played just five games in 2021 and ended the season on the injured reserve list.
Previously he played for the Seattle Seahawks, where he helped win a Super Bowl in 2014, and the San Francisco 49ers.
He is a vice president on the executive committee of the NFL players union.
