Free-agent cornerback Richard Sherman is facing several charges, including one for burglary domestic violence, after he was arrested at his wife's parents' residence in Redmond, Washington early Wednesday.

Redmond Police Department Chief Darrell Lowe said at a news conference Wednesday that Sherman also faces charges of resisting arrest and malicious mischief. In addition, Washington State Police captain Ron Mead said at the news conference that his department is also ready to refer Sherman to prosecutors for possible misdemeanor DUI and hit-and-run charges related to a separate incident Wednesday.

Sherman suffered minor lacerations to his lower leg and ankle and was treated at a local hospital as a result of contact from a police dog, which was used in his apprehension, Lowe said. An officer at the scene also received minor injuries, he said.

Sherman was booked at 6:08 a.m. PT Wednesday at the King County Correctional Facility in Seattle. Records state he was denied bail, but a spokesman for the Redmond (Washington) Police Department told ESPN that is standard procedure for suspects of domestic violence until they can appear before a judge. Sherman's hearing before a judge will not take place until Thursday afternoon. The judge will determine if there was probable cause for an arrest and also set bail.

• The situation between Sherman and police turned after he was informed they had probable cause to place him under arrest. At that point he began to walk away and increased his pace, at which the K9 unit was deployed ...

Whoa -- tackled by a K-9.

This is surprising IMO, though if Sherman was intoxicated there's no way to anticipate this kind of behavioral change unless you were close to him. 49ers would have liked to have signed Sherman but couldn't afford his price.
