Michael Jordan’s Son Charged With DUI, Drug Charges

Marcus Jordan, son of basketball legend Michael Jordan and a frequent figure on reality television, 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.

The 34-year-old Jordan, who last played competitive basketball at the University of Central Florida in 2012, was booked on suspicion of DUI, drug possession and resisting arrest.

Maitland police officers came upon a blue Lamborghini stuck in railroad tracks near Greenwood Drive and Mechanic Street at about 1:14 a.m., according to an affidavit supporting Jordan’s arrest.

The officers were told that the car had fled from Seminole County Sheriff’s deputies minutes earlier, the court document said.

“I stood at the window and immediately detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle,” an arresting officer wrote in the affidavit. “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, who has made several appearances on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Miami” and was featured on Peacock’s “The Traitors,” told police he bad been drinking and was “coming from a few venues in Winter Park and Casselberry to include the last place he visited of Rachels Gentleman’s Club,” according to the affidavit.
