Richard Sherman charged with DUI stemming from 2024 arrest
Former NFL cornerback and current television analyst Richard Sherman was charged Tuesday with DUI stemming from a 2024 arrest in Seattle, King County District Court Records show.

According to multiple reports, Tuesday's gross misdemeanor charge came one day after the results of a blood test taken the night Sherman was arrested were received from the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab. The tests showed that Sherman's blood alcohol level that night was around 0.11, above the legal limit of 0.08 in Washington.
The statute of limitations on a gross misdemeanor charge in Washington is two years 'after its commission,' according to the Revised Code of Washington.
The King County Prosecuting Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to inquiries from The Athletic.
Sherman is scheduled to be arraigned on June 30, court records show.
Sherman has worked as an analyst on Amazon's 'Thursday Night Football' broadcast for the past three seasons.
This is Sherman's second DUI charge in the last four years. In July 2021, he was charged with DUI along with four other misdemeanors. He pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor offenses in May 2022 as part of an agreement to resolve those charges.
Sherman, 37, played 11 seasons in the NFL with the Seattle Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A five-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro, Sherman was most known for his seven-year stint with Seattle, where he won a Super Bowl in 2013. He finished his career with Tampa Bay in 2021.

US filmmaker Tyler Perry faces explosive lawsuit as actor alleges sexual assault
US film magnate Tyler Perry has been accused of sexual harassment and assault and sued for $260 million by actor Derek Dixon. Dixon is part of Perry's TV show The Oval and filed the suit on 13 June. The actor accused Perry of creating 'a coercive, sexually exploitative dynamic,' according to People. According to the suit, Perry initially promised Dixon a 'career advancement and creative opportunities, such as producing his pilot and casting him in his show, only to subject him to escalating sexual harassment, assault and battery, and professional retaliation when Mr Dixon did not reciprocate Mr Perry's unwanted advances.' After meeting Perry in 2019, Dixon got a small role in one of his projects. In 2020, Perry invited Dixon to his Atlanta home, according to TMZ. This is where Perry allegedly tried to make a sexual advance, which Dixon rejected; however, Perry still remained interested. Dixon also claimed Perry sent him sexually suggestive texts and made more physical advances, too, including groping his butt and grabbing him by the throat. Dixon finally filed a complaint with the Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission in June 2024 and left The Oval due to the alleged sexual harassment. Perry's attorney, Matthew Boyd, told US media: 'This is an individual who got close to Tyler Perry for what now appears to be nothing more than setting up a scam. But Tyler will not be shaken down, and we are confident these fabricated claims of harassment will fail.'

R. Kelly hospitalised after alleged prison ‘overdose' amid shocking murder plot claim
Lawyers for R. Kelly have alleged that prison staff caused him to 'overdose' on medication, which led to his hospitalisation. The convicted singer, who is serving a 30-year sentence for sex trafficking, reportedly collapsed while in solitary confinement. Kelly's lawyers have also claimed that he is the target of a murder plot orchestrated by prison officials. Lawyers for R. Kelly said in recent court filings that the criminally convicted R&B singer suffered an 'overdose' of medication at the hands of prison officials. Kelly is currently serving a 30-year prison sentence at a facility in North Carolina. He was found guilty of myriad crimes, including federal racketeering and sex trafficking of minors. His lawyers alleged in a flurry of filings Monday and Tuesday that Kelly was in solitary confinement when prison staff instructed him to take an 'overdose quantity of medication' on 12 June. The 58-year-old became 'faint' and 'dizzy' by the next morning, the filing alleges. 'Mr Kelly tried to get up but fell to the ground. He crawled to the door of the cell and lost consciousness,' his attorneys said. The court papers say Kelly was taken in an ambulance to Duke University Hospital and that he was under treatment for two days. Queried by AFP, the Bureau of Prisons declined to comment. 'For privacy, safety, and security reasons, we do not discuss the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, including medical and health-related issues. Additionally, the Bureau of Prisons does not comment on pending litigation or matters that are the subject of legal proceedings,' the office said in a statement. Kelly's lawyers had previously filed an emergency motion for release to home detention, saying that the once-famous artist was the target of a murder plot orchestrated by prison officials. In opposing the request, government attorneys called the accusations 'fanciful' and 'theatrical.' The request 'makes a mockery of the harm suffered by Kelly's victims,' the Chicago federal lawyers said, adding that it wasn't filed in the correct court with the jurisdiction to even entertain the accusations. Kelly was convicted in 2021 in New York federal court for using an enterprise to systematically recruit and traffic teenagers and women for sex. The singer, known for hits including I Believe I Can Fly, was then convicted one year later in Chicago federal court in a separate trial, in which jurors found him guilty of producing child pornography and enticement of a minor. He is currently serving the New York prison sentence and will serve almost all of the Chicago sentence concurrently.

Jets Rookie Poised for Surprise Impact on Offense
Jets Rookie Poised for Surprise Impact on Offense originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Jets selected Georgia wide receiver Arian Smith with the 110th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he could prove this offseason that he deserves a role on the team. Advertisement In a recent article by Bleacher Report's Damian Parson, he picks five underrated rookie who he thinks could make a big impact in their first year in the league. And one of the players he chooses is the former Bulldogs wideout. "Smith's speed and explosiveness work well with manufactured touches... This New York offense should be similar to the Detroit Lions', and Smith could share similar usage as Lions receiver Jameson Williams," Parson wrote. "The Jets are testing Smith out as a returner on special teams... If his momentum transfers to training camp and the preseason, Smith will surely have a sizable impact on this Jets team." The 23-year-old receiver did have a bit of a drop problem when he was at Georgia, but he has reportedly been hard at work with the jugs machine to hopefully helm remedy that issue. In his final year with the Bulldogs, he led the team in receiving yards with 817, and he also had four touchdowns to go with that. Smith also put up some impressive numbers at the NFL Draft Combine, including a 4.36 in the 40-yard dash. Advertisement The Jets are looking for someone to go next to Garrett Wilson on the outside, and Smith could be a very intriguing option for new quarterback Justin Fields to throw to with his explosive athleticism.
