Marcus Jordan was arrested in Maitland, Florida earlier this week.
Jordan, the son of legendary basketball player Michael Jordan, had been arrested after police officers found his car stuck on a railroad track minutes before a train was scheduled to pass.
Jordan’s car had been stuck on the truck after being buried in dirt and rock. This occurred moments after he had been stopped in a nearby county. There, police officers noticed Jordan’s slurred speech, confusion and a bag in his pants that was described as a white, powdery substance which later tested positive for cocaine.
In the criminal complaint, the officer noticed the tires being halfway buried as well as the vehicle front bumper being covered in rocks from the railroad tracks, causing it damage. They also noted that Jordan had been aggressive towards officers both physically and verbally which included calling his arrest a joke.
At around one a.m. Eastern time, Jordan was arrested and charged for possession of cocaine, a second-degree misdemeanor. He was also charged with a second misdemeanor as he resisted an officer without violence. Jordan was released at 11:38 a.m. that morning on a $4,000 bond.
Currently, Jordan is the founder of Trophy Room, a store that sells Jordan brand gym shoes and other apparel. Jordan previously attended Whitney Young High School and played college basketball at the University of Central Florida, around ten miles away from where he was arrested.
