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 the door and enter the house of his in-laws.
He is accused of “burglary domestic violence,” because he knows the people at the home, but there is no indication that he physically harmed anyone.
Sherman, who has been in jail since Wednesday morning, has not been charged or arraigned in front of a judge. He will likely appear in court on Thursday.
