Richard Sherman is seen on a security camera trying to break into this father-in-law's home by violently throwing his 6-foot-3-inch, 200-plus pound body into the front door while yelling, 'Come through, b***h.'
The video outside his father-in-law Raymond Moss's Redmond, Washington home showed the 33-year-old NFL star raging out control and trying to bust down the door Wednesday evening.
Although it's unclear why he was trying to get it, he kept throwing his shoulder into the door over and over again until he finally stepped away and yelled at Moss from the porch.
Sherman reportedly drank two bottles of liquor and threatened to kill himself before he was finally arrested after this interaction.
He was charged with four misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor charges: second-degree criminal trespass, third-degree malicious mischief, resisting arrest and driving under the influence of alcohol.
But he avoids felony charges after initially being booked on domestic-violence burglary.
The judge released Sherman after his court appearance and said he's not have contact with his father-in-law.
Sherman's wife, Ashley, was in the courtroom Thursday.
'My kids were not harmed in the incident. He's a good person and this is not his character,' Ashley told the Seattle Times. 'I want people to know no one was injured.'

Raymond Moss told investigators that the former Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers star partially broke in the door.
According to the statement Moss gave police, his family was yelled out in fear as he demanded Sherman stop.
'I told him to stop. I armed myself with my handgun at this time fearing for the safety of myself and my family,' Moss told authorities when Sherman was arrested.
Sherman's wife called 911 late Tuesday to report that he was being belligerent, had threatened to kill himself and was driving away after drinking two bottles of hard alcohol.
'I need officers to my house now,' Moss told the 911 operator. 'My husband is drunk and threatened to kill himself.'
Police say Sherman had crashed his car in a construction zone around 1:30am, about half-an-hour before the attempted break-in.
A 911 caller told dispatchers that an apparently intoxicated driver drove into the closed construction zone and struck a barricade as he drove off, causing significant damage on the driver's side before becoming completely disabled.
During Thursday's hearing - which Sherman was not required to attend - a judge agreed to release him on his own recognizance because this was his first offense.

Moss told investigators that Sherman partially broke in the door of the family home (pictured above) by repeatedly ramming it with his shoulder. He also banged on the door repeatedly and called out, 'Come through, Ray!' in a hostile and threatening tone
'I see Mr. Sherman is a pillar in this community, he's a business owner, he's a husband, he's a father... I'm gonna release Mr. Sherman,' Superior Court Judge Fa'amomoi Masaniai said.
The judge placed several conditions on Sherman's release - including that he have no contact with his father-in-law and that he avoid drinking alcohol and doing drugs.
When asked about the incident, Ashley Moss told The Seattle Times that she wouldn't be making any formal statements. However, she did note that her husband did not harm anyone.

Wednesday's arrest comes after King County prosecutors and the sheriff obtained an 'extreme risk protection order' for Sherman in February.
A judge determined Sherman posed a danger to himself or others and barred him from having guns.
Details of the case were sealed, and it was not immediately clear if any weapons had been seized from him.
Sherman became a Seattle sports legend during seven seasons with the Seahawks.
The cornerback was a star in their run to a 2014 Super Bowl victory, making a game-saving play to deflect a pass in the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers.
He left the Seahawks after the 2017 season and played three seasons with San Francisco. He is now a free agent.
Prior to the attempted break-in, Sherman allegedly crashed his car in a construction zone in the area of Highway 520 near the exit for 148th Ave
