Packers RB A.J. Dillon explains confrontation with police officer during soccer match at Lambeau Field

Packers RB A.J. Dillon dealt with a confrontational interaction with a police officer while attempting to do Lambeau Leap during Saturday’s soccer match at Lambeau Field.

Green Bay Packers running back A.J. Dillon provided some background on his confrontational incident with a police officer at Lambeau Field during a weather delay of Saturday night’s soccer match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich.

Videos shared on social media show a police officer on the field at Lambeau Field grabbing Dillon by the collar of his personalized red Bayern Munich jersey and then pushing him aggressively before eventually allowing the Packers running back to do a Lambeau Leap into the stands.

Dillon said event security allowed him onto the field to help “hype up the crowd” and he assumed the police officer patrolling the area just didn’t get the memo.

In the video above, Dillon is seen interacting with fans and getting ready to leap into the crowd when the police officer grabbed hold of his shirt and jerked him backward. After a brief interaction, in which Dillon appears to be explaining his plan to jump in the stands, the officer pushed him away and then left the area.

It’s unclear what provoked the push.

At the time, play was stopped due to poor weather in the area.

Here’s another angle of the push:

There has been no word from Lambeau Field or the Packers on the incident.

Dillon was at the stadium enjoying the first-ever soccer match at Lambeau Field. Manchester City beat Bayern Munich 1-0 on a goal from Erling Haaland.

Updated details on former Seahawk Richard Sherman’s arrest

Additional details on the arrest of former Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman on burglary domestic violence.

The NFL world received deeply upsetting news on Wednesday morning concerning one of the biggest stars in the game. Former Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers cornerback, Richard Sherman, was arrested in the early hours of July 14.

The initial report indicated Sherman was arrested for the crime of burglary domestic violence, which naturally led fans around the country to assume the worst – especially considering the recent history of NFL players finding themselves in legal jeopardy for such a crime.

However, more details began to emerge once the City of Redmond’s Police Department held a press briefing. According to Police Chief Darrell Lowe, Richard Sherman was arrested after trying to break into his inlaws’ home.

Under Washington State law, a crime committed against a family member – by blood or marriage – can qualify as domestic violence.

Redmond police found Sherman outside the residence at 1:49 am where he was initially cooperative until they informed him he would be taken into custody. Sherman then resisted arrest and was eventually subdued by a K9 unit during which he suffered minor injuries to his left leg. After being taken to the hospital, Sherman was then booked into the King County Correctional Facility around 6:00 am.

It is of the utmost importance to clarify that Sherman did not harm any family members. His wife Ashley Moss gave the Seattle Times the following statement:

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

Unfortunately, the legal issues don’t appear to be limited to just burglary domestic violence. The Washington State Patrol is also investigating Sherman for a hit-and-run, a single-car collision, and obtained a warrant to test his blood for driving under the influence.

The City of Redmond was alerted at 11:26 pm that Sherman was possibly headed that direction. KIRO Radio obtained audio of his wife Ashley’s 911 call, where she described Sherman as belligerently drunk, threatening to kill himself, and getting physical with family members. During the call, Ashley was begging her husband to not leave in a car.

Around 1:00 am, the Washington State Patrol responded to a single-car crash at a construction site. The car was damaged from colliding into a concrete barrier, then was abandoned less than a mile from the crash site. When the WSP checked the plates, they found the car belonged to Sherman.

Miraculously, no one was injured in this incident.

Now Sherman sits behind bars, waiting to be seen by a judge at King County Superior Court on Thursday afternoon. Since the crime involves domestic violence, Sherman cannot post bail until he is seen before a judge.

Although the Redmond Police Department and Washington State Patrol have given much clarity to an ugly situation, this story will most assuredly continue to develop.

It should be noted that earlier in 2021, Sherman had an extreme risk protection order against him by the King County Sheriff’s Office. Such an order would prevent Sherman from legally obtaining firearms. The reasons behind this order are currently sealed.

Seahawks Wire will continue to update this story.

Court records show Marshon Lattimore charged with fourth-degree felony

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore was charged with a fourth-degree felony of receiving an allegedly stolen handgun.

[mm-video type=video id=01f1qmwh5a6j2mfr27 playlist_id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01f1qmwh5a6j2mfr27/01f1qmwh5a6j2mfr27-2a94cf8b45dfe4226c2096d8e87d742b.jpg]

Marshon Lattimore has now been charged with a fourth-degree felony for allegedly receiving a stolen firearm, per Cleveland court records accessed by the Times-Picayune | Advocate’s Amie Just. The New Orleans Saints cornerback must pay 10% of his $5,000 bond to be released from Cuyahoga County Jail. Just added that Lattimore has waived his preliminary hearing, so the case will advance to a grand jury.

It’s tough to say will happen next. Whether Lattimore is sentenced to serve time in prison, pay a fine, or wait out probation is yet to be determined. Any potential league discipline or suspension is also uncertain. So it’s best to remain patient and let these legal issues play out rather than speculate one way or another.

Marshon Lattimore cooperating with police; attorney calls arrest a ‘misunderstanding’

New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore is cooperating with police following his arrest, per a statement from his attorney.

[mm-video type=playlist id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://saintswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/plugins/mm-video/images/playlist-icon.png]

The situation surrounding New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore’s arrest in Cleveland late Thursday evening continues to develop. Lattimore’s attorney Marcus Sidoti issued a statement to Cleveland.com’s Adam Ferrise that said:

Mr. Lattimore, a proud Cleveland native with no prior criminal record or history, is fully cooperating with law enforcement’s investigation of this matter. He was a passenger in a vehicle that was stopped by police and was arrested without incident and was not formally charged. We believe that this was a misunderstanding, and that this will become even clearer as new information becomes available and is shared with the authorities.

Lattimore is accused of not telling police officers on the scene that he had a gun, with additional issues arising once the gun was found by police to be stolen. His cooperation with police should help clear things up, so check back for updates.

This is a developing story.

Cleveland police report details on Marshon Lattimore’s arrest

Cleveland police shared details on their arrest of New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, alleging possession of a stolen handgun.

[mm-video type=video id=01f1qmwh5a6j2mfr27 playlist_id=01eqbyahgz6p2j3xp7 player_id=none image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01f1qmwh5a6j2mfr27/01f1qmwh5a6j2mfr27-2a94cf8b45dfe4226c2096d8e87d742b.jpg]

It was reported early Friday morning that New Orleans Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore was arrested in his Cleveland hometown Thursday evening, though he has not been charged with a crime. The Cleveland police department reported context on the situation: Lattimore was arrested on suspicion of receiving stolen property as well as failing to notify officers that he had a weapon in his possession.

ESPN’s Mike Triplett shared a report from police that Lattimore had a loaded handgun on his person, which was later found to be stolen. The Athletic’s Katherine Terrell added more information from the police report, which said that a car with four passengers, one of them Lattimore, was pulled over following traffic violations. During the traffic stop, officers said they discovered a loaded Glock-19 handgun.

All four men in the car were arrested under suspicion, with the other two passengers brought in for having weapons under disability while the driver was arrested for improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle (in addition to a citation for non-functional taillights). Two weapons were allegedly found in the vehicle.

Amie Just of the Times-Picayune | Advocate reported that, as of 1 p.m. CT on Friday, Lattimore remains in Cleveland police custody. Ohio state law requires that citizens carrying concealed firearms during a traffic stop must inform police of it, which is what Lattimore is accused of not doing, and which would be a first-degree misdemeanor if he is charged. Conditions for possessing stolen property are a little more murky, but if the value of stolen goods exceeds $1,000, it would change from a misdemeanor to a felony.

There are a lot of moving parts to this situation, so keep an eye out for updates. Lattimore has not had an opportunity to comment publicly. At this early stage in the legal process, speculating on where things could develop would be irresponsible at best.

Ben Burr-Kirven will pay tribute to Breonna Taylor with helmet decal

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven will honor Breonna Taylor with his helmet decal that the players are adopting for 2020.

The Seattle Seahawks will honor victims of racial injustice by American police by wearing decals on their helmets for the 2020 season. Several players are each honoring a different Black American who has been subject to racial injustice. Linebacker Ben Burr-Kirven told Seahawks.com that he will pay tribute to Breonna Taylor, one of the more prominent victims in the news.

“When somebody gets shot asleep in their house on a no-knock warrant, something has to change,” Burr-Kirven said. “The way the news cycle works, it’s easy for things to fall out of the news and for people to forget. And you can’t forget what happened, you have to make something change, so the best way to keep this in the news and keep people paying attention is to put in a place where millions of people are going to see it every weekend when we play.”

The Seahawks will play the Falcons in Atlanta on September 13 at 10:00 a.m. PT if all proceeds as planned.
