Seattle Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman was arrested Thursday morning and booked on an allegation of vehicular assault, according to various reports.
Danny O’Neil of 710 ESPN Seattle is reporting that Coleman is being investigated for vehicular assault and hit-and-run. While he did not comment on the allegations, Coleman’s lawyer said Thursday that he was with Coleman on Wednesday night and there is “no way” the 24-year-old was under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of the alleged incident.
“There was no way on God’s green earth that Derrick Coleman was under the influence of anything,” the attorney said.
