Yeah, really bad
Damn this is surprising, hope the victim is OK.
I was actually just hoping Dallas would sign him to a veteran contract.
In a domestic violence burglary situation, the offender is usually accused of entering or refusing to leave a house, business, vehicle or other dwelling. In first degree offenses, they are also accused of committing an act of violence or carrying a deadly weapon such as a knife or firearm.
In Seattle, most violent crimes can also be domestic violence offenses if certain criteria are met. The law states that the crime may be domestic violence if it occurs against "one family or household member by another family or household member". This can involve, spouses, ex-spouses, two people in a dating relationship, children and parents and more. In these situations, the State will often be left to decide whether or not the crime should be considered domestic violence.
Washington Burglary Charges
In Washington, there are 2 degrees of burglary charges that can be involved in domestic violence. Both crimes involve the illegal entering of a building. The more serious burglary offenses involve violence or a deadly weapon. Both offenses are felonies and can result in steep penalties.
Burglary in the Second Degree:
The lesser of the two burglary domestic violence charges involves second degree charges. Washington law RCW 9A.52.030 (1) states:
A person is guilty of burglary in the second degree if, with intent to commit a crime against a person or property therein, he or she enters or remains unlawfully in a building other than a vehicle or a dwelling.
This offense is a Class B felony. Under Washington law, the penalties include up to 10 years of incarceration, a fine of up to $20,000 or a combination of them both.
Burglary in the First Degree:
Burglary in the first degree is the more serious burglary offense and is more common in domestic violence situations. Under RCW 9A.52.020 (1), the law states:
A person is guilty of burglary in the first degree if, with intent to commit a crime against a person or property therein, he or she enters or remains unlawfully in a building and if, in entering or while in the building or in immediate flight therefrom, the actor or another participant in the crime (a) is armed with a deadly weapon, or (b) assaults any person.
The penalties for a burglary in the first degree include up to a life sentence of jail time and up to $50,000 in fines. It is important to seek experienced legal counsel as soon as you are arrested. As in all domestic violence cases, it is up to the State, not the victim, whether or not charges will be filed.
I don't know how the jail system works in Seattle, but in Phoenix you see a judge within a few hours of being booked and they either order release you or give you a court date at which time they can also grant bail. The fact that he was denied bail leads me to believe he has seen a judge.Not necessarily. They almost always deny bail before you've been in front of a judge. Not that it isn't bad, but that isn't really an indication if it is or isn't.

The spokesman, who would not confirm the name of the person taken into custody, said a 911 call from the residence was received at 2 a.m. PT. The person calling said that an adult male family member who did not live at the residence was attempting to force his way into the home.
When police arrived, the suspect was located outside the home. He fought with police but was eventually apprehended and taken to a local hospital to be checked but was cleared and then booked into the King County Correctional Facility.
The spokesman said no one in the residence was injured.
Glad he didn't hurt anyone at least.
The incident originally unfolded at around 1:45 a.m. when state troopers responded to a report of a hit-and-run crash in a construction site near State Route 520 and 148th Street in Redmond, police said.
Authorities say Sherman was driving the vehicle involved in the crash. He tried to keep driving, but damage to the vehicle was too severe so he got out and left on foot.
The caller described Sherman as being "drunk and belligerent" and said he was "threatening to kill himself." The caller, who identified herself at one point as "Ashley Sherman," also said Sherman was "being aggressive," wrestled with her uncle and "sent text messages to people saying he's going to hang himself."
The caller can be heard attempting to prevent Sherman from leaving the residence, saying, "Richard, please stop." She also told the 911 dispatcher that Sherman drank two bottles of hard alcohol.
Whatever it is, the guy needs help.
When things like this seemingly come out of the blue with an athlete it seems like a pretty strong likelihood.

CTE, football induced substance abuse/addiction, and a myriad of other issues from a such a high intensity career for sure plays a large part in what you see happen to these guys.
