Marcus Jordan, the son of hall-of-fame basketball player Michael Jordan, was arrested Tuesday on a DUI charge after police pulled him over in Florida. The Traitors star was taken into custody by the Maitland Police Department after fleeing a traffic stop initiated by local sheriff’s deputies, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by WESH 2. Officers confronted Marcus Jordan after they spotted his unmoving blue Lamborghini SUV on the railroad tracks as a train approached the area. He told officers that the SUV became stuck after he “made a wrong turn.” Police observed that he had slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, smelled of alcohol and didn’t seem to fully know where he was. After he failed a field sobriety exercise, he was arrested for driving under the influence, cocaine possession and resisting arrest. Police said he was not alone in the car, although they did not identify the passenger. Previously an athlete at the University of Central Florida, Jordan owns a boutique shoe store in downtown Orlando. He is the second of NBA legend Jordan’s five children. Notably, he dated Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pipen’s ex-wife Larsa Pippen, who starred on Real Housewives of Miami. He has been in custody since early Tuesday, where he is being held on $4,000 bond, Page Six reported.
