Richard Sherman, the free-agent cornerback who is one of the most visible stars in the N.F.L., was arrested early Wednesday morning in Redmond, Wash., and booked into jail after the police said he tried to break down a door to enter the house of his in-laws. Sherman, 33, who has been in a county jail in Seattle since Wednesday morning, has not been charged or arraigned. Sherman does not have an agent, and members of his immediate family did not respond to phone calls. It was unclear on Wednesday evening whether Sherman had retained a lawyer. Sherman was also involved in a car crash, the police said, and a physical confrontation with officers during his arrest.
