Created: JANUARY 17, 2025

Following his arrest in Florida on charges including cocaine possession, Marcus Jordan, son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, has broken his silence. In an Instagram post, the 34-year-old acknowledged the incident but declined to comment further, stating his focus on his Orlando-based boutique, Trophy Room, dedicated to his father's illustrious career. "I appreciate everyone reaching out," Jordan wrote. "I’m focusing on @trophyroomstore right now and won’t be making any comments on recent media stories and my personal life." He expressed gratitude for the public's concern and understanding.

The arrest took place on Tuesday, with Jordan being booked into the Orange County Jail on charges of cocaine possession, resisting arrest, and DUI involving property damage or personal injury. Dashcam footage released by the Seminole County Sheriff's Office shows Jordan's Lamborghini SUV speeding away from deputies before being found stuck on railroad tracks by Maitland Police Department officers. According to the arrest report, officers detected the smell of alcohol and observed slurred speech and confusion from Jordan. A bag of cocaine was reportedly found in his pants. During the arrest, Jordan identified himself as Michael Jordan's son, stating, "Bro, I’m Marcus Jordan. I’m Michael Jordan’s son. I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m just trying to get home. And I made a wrong turn, OK?" This isn't Jordan's first time in the headlines. Last year, he and Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of his father's former teammate Scottie Pippen, ended their relationship.
