Former Seattle Seahawk Richard Sherman was arrested on suspicion of DUI early Saturday morning and booked into a Seattle jail. And unfortunately, this isn't the first time.

The former cornerback, who helped the Seahawks to the Super Bowl in 2014, was pulled over by law enforcement for driving nearly 20 MPH over the speed limit, and that's where the trouble started.

"Sherman was pulled over just before 2 a.m. Saturday for driving 79 mph (127 kmh) in a 60 mph (97 kmh) zone on Interstate 405 south of Seattle, Washington State Patrol Trooper Jordan Hazzard-Thomas wrote in a probable cause statement. His eyes were bloodshot and watery, he smelled of intoxicants, and he declined to take a breath test, Hazzard-Thomas wrote.

After spending the weekend in the King County Jail in Seattle, Sherman waived his right to appear at a bail hearing Monday. His bail was set at $5,000, and his attorney, Jon Scott Fox, said he expected Sherman to be processed and released quickly."

Two years ago, he pleaded guilty to a pair of misdemeanors for drunken driving and domestic disturbance.
