Sherrone Moore’s Legal Troubles
Moore, aged 39, is contending with three charges: felony home invasion and stalking, among others. He has pleaded not guilty to these accusations. While free on bond, Moore is required to wear a tracking device.
Details of the Incident
According to reports, the troubling incident occurred on December 10, when Moore went to the woman’s apartment. During this visit, he expressed his anger over losing his job, which he attributed to her. Authorities revealed that he threatened self-harm with kitchen utensils, declaring, “My blood is on your hands.”
Next Steps in Moore’s Case
- Moore’s attorney, Ellen Michaels, filed a motion to quash the arrest warrant.
- A hearing on this motion is scheduled for February 17 before Judge J. Cedric Simpson.
- Moore’s next court date for a probable cause hearing is set for March 19.
Background on Sherrone Moore
Moore’s firing followed an internal university investigation revealing his relationship with the woman, a staff member. He had previously coached for two seasons, succeeding Jim Harbaugh, who left to take a position with the NFL’s Los Angeles Chargers. Kyle Whittingham has since been appointed as the new coach for Michigan.
This situation has raised significant attention, given Moore’s prior role within the Michigan football program and the nature of the allegations against him. Further developments are anticipated in the upcoming court dates.
