Marcus Jordan, son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, arrested, records show - chof 360 news

Marcus Jordan, son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, has been arrested in Florida, according to jail records.

Orange County records show Jordan, 34, was booked into jail Tuesday.

According to NBC News, Marcus Jordan was arrested "after he was allegedly out drinking at a Florida strip club before getting his car stuck on railroad tracks early Tuesday," authorities said.

He was booked on suspicion of DUI, drug possession and resisting arrest.

According to an affidavit obtained by NBC, Maitland police discovered a blue Lamborghini stuck in railroad tracks at about 1:14 a.m. near Greenwood Drive and Mechanic Street. The docs alleged the vehicle was reported to have fled from Seminole County Sheriff's police shortly before the discovery.

"I stood at the window and immediately detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle," an arresting officer wrote in the document. "The defendant kept saying he made a wrong turn and needed assistance getting his vehicle off the railroad tracks. I noticed the driver had slurred speech and he was confused where he was located. I noticed the driver had red bloodshot and glassy eyes."

Jordan told officers he had been drinking that night and was "coming from a few venues in Winter Park and Casselberry." A "plastic baggie with a white powdery substance inside" was also found in the "right pocket of his pants," authorities said, noting that field tests later showed the substance was cocaine.

Officials alleged Marcus Jordan was not cooperative during the arrest, at one point extending his legs to keep them from closing the door to the squad car. He also "was singing the entire way to the DUI Center and his speech was slurred," the affidavit states.

It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Marcus Jordan has been in headlines in recent years for his previous relationship with "The Real Housewives of Miami" star Larsa Pippen. Pippen shares four children with NBA Hall-of-Famer Scottie Pippen, who won six championships with the Chicago Bulls in the 1990s as Michael Jordan's teammate.

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan first announced they were dating in January 2023, saying later that year that a wedding was "in the works." But the two ultimately ended their relationship in February 2024.

Marcus Jordan also starred in Season 2 of "The Traitors."
