Newly released dashcam footage captures the police pursuit leading up to Marcus Jordan’s DUI arrest by the Maitland Police Department early Tuesday morning.
Jordan, son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, allegedly sped away from an attempted traffic stop initiated by a Seminole County Sheriff’s officer around 1:03 a.m. The footage shows an officer approaching Jordan’s Lamborghini SUV before he accelerates, evading police. The officer later disengages and radios in Jordan’s last known location.
About 10 minutes later, officers found Jordan’s vehicle stuck on railroad tracks. The police report noted visible bumper damage and kicked-up rocks, suggesting he had been trying to flee but got stuck. Jordan, appearing disoriented with slurred speech and bloodshot eyes, told officers, “Bro, I’m Marcus Jordan. I’m Michael Jordan’s son. I’m not doing anything wrong. I just made a wrong turn.”
After failing three field sobriety tests, Jordan was arrested for DUI. A white powdery substance found in his pants tested positive for cocaine, leading to additional charges of cocaine possession and resisting an officer.
Jordan was released from Orange County Jail Tuesday afternoon, where reporters swarmed him as he exited to a waiting car.
