Marcus Jordan Arrested on Multiple Charges, Including Cocaine Possession in Florida

Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA icon Michael Jordan, has been arrested in Florida amid several serious charges. The arrest occurred on Tuesday in Maitland, where local police took Marcus into custody.

Details of the Arrest

According to the Maitland Police Department, Marcus Jordan was booked into Orange County Jail on charges that include cocaine possession, resisting arrest, and driving under the influence (DUI) with property damage or personal injury. As of now, specifics about the circumstances surrounding his arrest have not been disclosed.

Background on Marcus Jordan

At 34 years old, Marcus serves as the second-eldest child of basketball legend Michael Jordan, who is celebrated for his illustrious career with the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards. Marcus initially gained some recognition by playing high school basketball and later attempted to continue his athletic journey at the University of Central Florida. However, he left the college program in 2012.

Despite not pursuing a professional basketball career, he graduated in 2013 with a bachelor’s degree from The Rosen College of Hospitality Management.

Recent Spotlight and Previous Incidents

In recent years, Marcus’s personal life has thrust him back into the public eye, particularly due to his past relationship with Larsa Pippen. This relationship, which started about two years ago, attracted media attention, particularly because Larsa is the ex-wife of Marcus’s father’s former teammate, Scottie Pippen. However, the couple ended their relationship in early 2024.

Throughout his life, Marcus has faced legal issues. He previously pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in Omaha, Nebraska, in 2012. Although he was charged with obstructing a police officer, that charge was dropped through a plea agreement.

Looking Ahead

As the situation develops, many will be watching to see how Marcus Jordan navigates these recent challenges. His connections to the Jordan legacy and the media spotlight ensure that his actions will be of interest to fans and sports enthusiasts alike.

Meanwhile, Fox News Digital will continue to monitor the case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
