On the 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:
#1 David on Tue Jul 13th’s 911 call by former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman’s wife Ashley a recording was heard of as those who listened to the call between Ashley and the 911 dispatcher from King County in Washington. Telling Ashley to stop when Ashley was saying Sherman was being drunk and belligerent and when Ashley said this is an emergency the dispatcher said “you need to stop interrupting me so I can get the information I need to get officers expedited.”
#2 Former King County sheriff John Urquhart, defended the 911 on KIRO Newsradio saying “She’s short with the woman because she’s taking control. Any time you’re in a conversation with someone, when someone takes control, that makes people step back and say, ‘hey wow what’s going on here?’ But in this case, they don’t understand why it’s so important, why it’s absolutely critical and it can be life and death. They may be upset with kind of the tone of it. But when you realize all that has to be done, it’s just fine.”
#3 The Seattle Times reported that Sherman has pleaded not guilty to the charges: criminal trespass in the second degree with a domestic-violence element, reckless endangerment of roadway crews, driving under the influence, resisting arrest and malicious mischief with a domestic-violence element.
