Marcus Jordan , the 34-year-old son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, was arrested in Florida on Tuesday, February 4th, according to an arrest affidavit and multiple media reports. Records obtained by the FOX 35 News team indicate that Jordan was arrested by Maitland Police and booked into the Orange County Jail on suspicion of DUI , property damage, cocaine possession, and resisting arrest without violence.
Maitland Police Department officers were patrolling Greenwood Road near Mechanic Street around 1:14 am when they encountered a car with its headlights on, facing southbound on the railroad tracks. Their investigation revealed that the car had fled from a traffic stop initiated by the Seminole County Sheriff's Office. Officers detected the smell of alcohol emanating from the vehicle and observed that the driver, identified as Jordan, was slurring his words and had bloodshot eyes. Jordan claimed he had taken a wrong turn and needed assistance getting his car off the tracks. Police stated that Jordan refused to exit the car until ordered to do so, along with a passenger. He told police he had been at several venues in the Winter Park and Casselberry area, most recently Rachel's Gentleman's Club. Following a series of sobriety tests, officers arrested Jordan for DUI. According to reports, Jordan resisted complying with officers' instructions to walk to the patrol car and refused to enter. During a search, officers discovered cocaine in Jordan's pants pocket. Records indicate that Jordan played basketball for the University of Central Florida from 2009 to 2012 and graduated with a bachelor's degree from the Rosen College of Hospitality Management in 2013. Jordan is known for his previous relationship with Larisa Pippen, the ex-wife of his father's teammate, Scottie Pippen. However, the couple separated in 2024 after dating for about two years. According to FOX News, Jordan has had a previous encounter with law enforcement. Records reveal that he pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in 2012 in Omaha, Nebraska. He was also charged with obstructing a police officer, but the charge was dropped as part of a plea agreement, according to reports. Jordan is currently being held at the Orange County Jail
