KIRO Radio 97.3 FM in Tacoma, Washington, obtained audio of the 911 call that preceded the arrest of NFL star Richard Sherman.
Speaking with an emergency dispatcher, a woman who identifies herself as Ashley Sherman and says she's Sherman's wife describes Sherman as "drunk and belligerent." The caller, who is audibly distressed, also says that Sherman was fighting with family members and "threatening to kill himself."
The woman also warned that Sherman said he would be combative with any police officers who arrived but that he didn't have a weapon.
Timothy Burke shared the isolated audio from the call:
