Richard Sherman charged with DUI from 2024 arrest
Richard Sherman charged with DUI from 2024 arrest
In February of 2024, former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman was arrested on suspicion of DUI and booked into King County Jail. The Super Bowl XLVIII champion declined to take a breathalyzer test and instead opted to have his blood drawn.
Well, the results of his bloodwork have finally come back from the Washington State Patrol's crime lab, and this is one test Sherman did not want to fail. In Washington, the legal limit is 0.08 and Sherman's blood alcohol level came back as 0.11. As a result, the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office has officially charged Sherman with driving under the influence, which is a gross misdemeanor in Washington.
This is Richard Sherman's second run-in with the law, with the first being a domestic incident in 2021. In that situation, Sherman was also arrested for driving under the influence, but it was ultimately plead down to two misdemeanor offenses, including first-degree negligent driving and speeding in a construction zone.
In Washington, the statute of limitations for charging a suspect with a gross misdemeanor - such as driving under the influence - is two years. Since the Sherman is still well within that range, he is still subject to legal jeopardy. Part of his plea deal from 2022 included two years of court supervision and being forced to attend a DUI victim's panel.
I am not a lawyer or a legal expert, but seeing as though February 2024 is also within the two year window the court sentenced him to be under, I cannot imagine the King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office is going to be all that sympathetic towards Sherman for his second incident involving drinking and driving.

Defense attorney for suspect in Aliza Sherman's murder hints at strategy: I-Team
CLEVELAND (WJW) – The accused killer of Aliza Sherman was in court on Tuesday for his first pretrial and his attorney is now hinting on plans to fight the charges. Gregory Moore, 51, is accused of killing Sherman in 2013. Her murder went unsolved for 12 years. Moore was indicted on several charges, including aggravated murder, on May 2. His defense attorney, Jon Paul Rion, is questioning why prosecutors are filing the charges now. 'The delay in this case is of concern,' Rion said. 'It is not clear if there is any new evidence.' What is the Prenatal Equal Protection Act? New bill would effectively ban abortion in Ohio Prosecutors allege the murder happened because Moore was not prepared to take her case to trial. Prosecutors have also said there is technology available now that was not available more than a decade ago when the murder happened. 'You have a due process right to have a trial within a reasonable period of time, when all the witnesses and evidence are available for both sides,' Rion said. 'If there are material witnesses or other evidence no longer in existence that could adversely affect the defendant, in this case Greg Moore, the court has to look if it's even fair to have a trial.'

Moore remains jailed on a $2 million bond but his attorney said he may file a motion asking for a bond reduction. Moore is due back in court next month. His trial date has been set for March 30.

Colorado State Patrol sets up sobriety checkpoints in Douglas County for summer DUI enforcement
The Colorado State Patrol will be out Friday night, looking for anyone drinking and driving. State troopers are conducting sobriety checkpoints all summer and this latest checkpoint will be in Douglas County off E-470. Troopers say this area was chosen based on the history of DUI-related crashes and arrests. Colorado State Patrol CSP said the purpose of these checkpoints is not to make arrests but to promote safety and prevention. You drink and drive, you pay the fine. Troopers say one in three fatal crashes in Colorado involves a driver under the influence. DUIs are not just drinking-related but also involve cannabis and drugs. If you are caught, even the first time, you will have to pay at least $13,000 in court fees and fines, face jail time, have your vehicle impounded, and have your license taken away. Friday's sobriety checkpoint will begin around 9 p.m. and last until 2 a.m. CSP reminds drivers that if they see anyone driving under the influence, they should call *277 and give the dispatcher the location, direction they are heading, along with the make and model of the vehicle.
