Richard Sherman Granted Deferred Prosecution in Washington DUI Case

The charge pauses pending two years of treatment under a five-year probation term.

Overview

  • A King County District Court judge approved Sherman's attorney's request for deferred prosecution, suspending the DUI charge contingent on court-ordered compliance.
  • Under Washington law, Sherman stated his conduct resulted from a substance use disorder and agreed to treatment as a condition of the deal.
  • He admitted the police report contains sufficient information to support a finding of guilt, and the outcome will count as a prior offense in any future DUI case.
  • If he completes treatment and complies with probation, the case will be dismissed; failure would send the matter to a bench trial.
  • The case stems from a Feb. 24, 2024 stop for speeding, a refused breath test, and a later blood draw of about 0.11 BAC, and he has continued working as an Amazon Prime Video Thursday Night Football analyst.
