Marcus Jordan, son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, may be someone who’s used to his name being in the headlines, but it’s back there once again thanks to an unfortunate encounter with the police. And now, we’ve got video footage of the ridiculous ordeal.
As noted by TMZ on Wednesday, Jordan was arrested by Maitland Police in Florida after they notice his blue Lamborghini truck was stuck in a train track. While officers initially thought it was a simple case of a vehicle in distress, they later learned that Jordan was suspected of having driven away from an earlier traffic stop incident just moments before he found himself on the train tracks, according to USA Today. As the officers were trying to help him and ascertain what happened, that’s when they reportedly noticed his eyes were “bloodshot and glassy” and that he seemed confused on where he was.
Jordan would later inform the officers that he’d just come from a gentlemen’s club, but his behavior made them suspect he may have been under the influence. As a result, they gave him three field sobriety tests—all of which he ended up failing which led to him getting arrested for a DUI. But it was what he reportedly said back to them that’s catching everyone’s attention as noted by newly released dashcam video.
“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? And clearly, we would just like to get our car off of the f*cking train tracks which we were not trying to be on,” he said in the video.
The footage also shows him acting “aggressively and repeatedly pulling away from the officer.” Once they enacted a pat down on him, police also reportedly found a small plastic bag filled with a white substance that ultimately tested positive for cocaine. While officers were trying to put him in the back of their police car to take him in, Jordan questioned why he was “getting treated like a criminal like he was doing something wrong.” Once inside the car, however, police say he requested for the officers to “play some Mariah Carey up in this bitch,” on the ride to the station and was being “loud, profane and belligerent,” as noted by TMZ.
He’s now facing charges of DUI, cocaine possession and resisting arrest. He was free to go from the Orange County Corrections Department after posting his $4,000 bond on Wednesday.
Once the footage began to circulate on social media, plenty of people had their opinions:
“Marcus Jordan got caught with that booga sugar again…. Boy keep it up with the boy and he gon have a Pippen nose,” wrote on user on X/Twitter.
“Marcus Jordan is the black version of Hunter Biden,” said another.
“Marcus Jordan was higher than a dinosaur’s asshole with his car on the train tracks and with the straight face, he told that officer he did nothing wrong,” one other user said.
Added another, “I know Michael Jordan is so tired of Marcus and his antics lmao. He’s been in the damn news way too much for the last couple of years. The Larsa Pippen shit. The coke. The drinking. He needs rehab.”
