Shortly after his arrest, a video went viral of the Super Bowl champion slamming the door of his in-laws’ house.
Now, Sherman has learned his fate, and he’s getting off pretty easy. According to TMZ, Sherman pleaded guilty to a count of negligent driving and a count of criminal trespass, and he received a 90-day suspended sentence.
He will also have to be supervised for two years and pay a small fine. All things considered, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive back is walking away from the situation without much to worry about.
