Cops say he was taken to the hospital to be looked at for possible injuries before he was eventually booked at the county jail.

Jail records show Sherman still remains behind bars.

The Burglary Domestic Violence charge is a felony in Washington state … and can carry a lengthy prison sentence, if convicted.”
