New police video of former NFL cornerback turned Amazon Prime analyst Richard Sherman's arrest last year was obtained and released by TMZ Sports on Tuesday (October 14).

The footage was captured by a Washington State Patrol squad car on February 24, 2024, the night he was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. Multiple officers were on the scene when Sherman was pulled over and claimed to have had "two margaritas" before driving.

One officer was heard acknowledging that he recognized Sherman from his legendary stint with the Seattle Seahawks.

"Did you see who it was? Richard Sherman from the Seahawks. I'll let you take it," the officer said.

Sherman was then administered several field sobriety tests away from the dash cam and eventually handcuffed, having accused an officer of grabbing him too tightly before being placed in the back of the squad car and seeming to fall asleep.

Sherman was previously arrested for driving under the influence in summer 2021 after he crashed his SUV into a construction zone and attempted to break into his in-laws' home which resulted in charges of criminal trespass, DUI and resisting arrest in King County. The former cornerback entered a plea agreement in March 2022 for first-degree negligent driving and second-degree criminal trespass in March 2022, which included court supervision through part of 2024 and a suspended 90-day jail sentence, having already been credited two days served, if he avoided being arrested again.

Sherman announced his decision to join Amazon Prime's NFL coverage ahead of the 2022 launch of its 'Thursday Night Football' franchise. The Compton native was selected by the Seahawks at No. 154 overall in the fifth-round of the 2011 NFL Draft and was one of several standout defensive backs on the team's 'Legion of Boom' secondary during its most successful run in franchise history, which included its only Super Bowl victory and two NFC championships.

Sherman led all NFL players with eight interceptions -- a total he matched from the previous season -- during the Seahawks' Super Bowl championship season in 2013 and is a member of the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team. The former Stanford University standout spent three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers (2018-20) before signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in September 2021 and retiring the following offseason.
