Why was Marcus Jordan arrested?
NBA icon Michael Jordan’s son Marcus Jordan was reportedly arrested on February 4 on multiple charges, including DUI, cocaine possession, and resisting arrest, in Florida. The former college basketball player was taken into custody by Maitland police and booked into Orange County Jail.
Authorities say they found Jordan’s blue car stuck on railroad tracks, with him behind the wheel. He reportedly told officers he had made a wrong turn and needed assistance. However, police noticed signs of intoxication, including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, and the smell of alcohol. Further investigation revealed that he had allegedly fled a previous traffic stop.

Jordan initially refused to exit the vehicle but eventually complied. A search of his pockets led officers to discover a small bag of white powder, which later tested positive for cocaine. He was subsequently charged with driving under the influence, possession of a controlled substance, and resisting arrest without violence. His bail was set at $4,000, and he was released later that day. The reality TV star did not respond to any questions as he was released.
This isn’t Jordan’s first run-in with the law. In 2012, he was arrested in Nebraska for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, later pleading no contest. Jordan has yet to make a public statement regarding his recent arrest.
