==Personal life==
Herman married Madeleine Atchley in March 2014. They live on a farm and have a son, Leo.
On January 19, 2015, Herman was arrested in the early morning in Indiana, allegedly after leading police on a chase. Herman faces three felony charges, including resisting law enforcement with a vehicle and battery against law enforcement, and a misdemeanor charge of child neglect. His infant child was in the vehicle when he pulled over in the closest safe well lit area.
According to an incident report issued by the Dekalb County Sheriff Department, Herman was speeding on I-69 with no headlights or taillights on. When officers attempted to pull him over, Herman initially refused to pull over before stopping at a gas station, the report states.
According to the report: “David exited his vehicle and approached Officers in an aggressive manner. David was given multiple warnings to get on the ground and failed to comply. David had to be tased in order to be taken into custody. An infant and adult female were also present in the vehicle.”<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mmajunkie.com/2015/01/ufc-and-bellator-vet-dave-herman-arrested-after-police-chase|title=UFC and Bellator vet Dave Herman arrested after police chase|publisher=mmajunkie.com |author=MMAjunkie Staff |date=2015-01-20|accessdate=2015-01-21}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Report-UFC-Veteran-Dave-Herman-Arrested-Following-Police-Chase-80539|title=Report: UFC Veteran Dave Herman Arrested Following Police Chase|publisher=sherdog.com |author=Mike Fridley |date=2015-01-20|accessdate=2015-01-21}}</ref>
