The Seattle Seahawks suspended fullback Derrick Coleman indefinitely pending further information after he was arrested.
Early Thursday morning, Coleman was arrested by Bellevue police. He was driving a pickup truck and struck another car Wednesday night then walked away. Coleman wasn’t injured in the crash, but the other driver was and possibly has a broken collarbone.
The fullback was charged with vehicular assault and hit and run, according to Sporting News. He is being held in King County jail without bail.
Coleman, who is legally deaf, joined the Seahawks in 2012 after being released by the Minnesota Vikings. He has played in 22 games with six starts while with the team. He is considered to be one of the Seahawks' best special-teams players.
This season, he has one yard on two carries and no receptions, according to the Seattle Times. He has totaled just three carries and 11 receptions in his four-year career.
The Seahawks play the undefeated Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
