Future NFL Hall of Famer Richard Sherman was released from jail without bail after appearing in front of a judge on Thursday. 

The King County court judge recognized Sherman as a "pillar in this community" but placed some strict conditions on his release while the case plays out. For starters, Sherman is ordered to stay away from his father-in-law, as well as not possess any firearms. He is also barred from consuming alcohol.

In a harrowing 911 call, Richard Sherman's wife expressed that her husband was entertaining suicidal thoughts before his arrest early Wednesday morning. Authorities believe what transpired leading up to the arrest was a drunken night that resulted in him crashing his SUV and rendering it undrivable. Not to mention threats to hang himself. 

The audio is said to be Sherman's wife, Ashley Moss, who can be heard telling the emergency operator that her husband had been heavily drinking and was "being aggressive" with her uncle as well as “threatening to kill himself … and sent text messages to people saying he is going to hang himself.”

More details have emerged in relation to five-time Pro Bowler Richard Sherman's burglary domestic violence arrest.

The NFL free agent was reportedly taken down by a police K9 unit after attempting to break into a family member's home. It was later revealed that Sherman is also being investigated for a possible DUI and hit-and-run after a car registered in his name was involved in a single-car crash involving a construction-zone barrier.

Despite Sherman's arrest and DUI investigation, his wife Ashley Moss confirmed Redmond public information officer James Perry's claim that no one was harmed during the alleged crash and attempted burglary.

"At this time we're going to make no statements, except he didn’t harm anybody," Moss said. "My kids were not harmed in the incident. He's a good person and this is not his character. We're doing alright, just trying to get him out. I want people to know no one was injured."

Richard Sherman will have to wait until Thursday to appear in front of a judge where he will be formally charged.

Former Seahawks and 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman, who is currently a free agent, was arrested in Seattle on Wednesday (July 14) morning for burglary domestic violence, according to ESPN. 

A spokesman for the Redmond (Washington) Police Department told ESPN that Sherman is being held without bail, which is standard in domestic violence cases, until he can appear before a judge. The spokesperson also revealed more information about the events leading up to Sherman's arrest, as they state that a 911 call came in about someone saying an adult male family member who did not live at the residence was trying to force his way into their home. 

When police arrived, Sherman allegedly struggled during the arrest, but was ultimately apprehended and taken to a local hospital, where he was cleared and then booked into the King County Correctional Facility. 

The NFL Players Association, which Sherman is Vice President of, reacted to the news in a statement that read, "We were made aware of an arrest last night of one of our player leaders for an alleged domestic violence incident and have activated our domestic violence crisis protocol for the protection and support of everyone involved. We will continue to monitor events closely as more facts are made available to us." 

More details to come.
