• NFL free agent cornerback Richard Sherman was arrested on a charge of burglary domestic violence.
• In a 9-1-1 call, Sherman's wife said Sherman was "belligerent" and threatening to kill himself.

In the audio of a 911 call obtained by KIRO Radio, a woman who identified herself as Ashley Sherman said NFL free agent cornerback Richard Sherman was threatening to kill himself.

The audio comes after news that Sherman was arrested on a burglary domestic violence charge in Seattle on Wednesday. He was denied bail.

According to a Redmond, Washington, police spokesperson, Sherman was arrested after a struggle, and police used a K-9 to apprehend him. Sherman had also been in a single-car accident on Tuesday night.

In the audio of the 9-1-1 call, Ashley Sherman said Sherman was "being aggressive" and "wrestling" with an uncle who was at the residence.

"He's threatening to kill himself," Ashley Sherman said. "He has sent text messages to people saying he's going to hang himself. And he's saying that if the police show up, please don't shoot, is what he's asking ... He said that if the police show up, he'll try to fight them."

Ashley Sherman and the operator also had several contentious moments during the call, including when Ashley Sherman said she needed police on the scene right away.

"Listen to me, I'm handling this. You need to stop telling me that," the operator said in response.

Police said no one in the residence was harmed. One officer had minor scrapes to his leg, and Sherman had minor injuries on his leg and ankle.
