Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA<\/a> legend Michael Jordan, was arrested in Florida on Tuesday (February 4) for driving under the influence of alcohol, possession of cocaine, and resisting arrest. The information comes from the American portal TMZ.<\/p>

Marcus was taken to the Orange County Jail in Orlando. According to the WESH2 news outlet in Orlando, Marcus was detained by the police after running a red light.<\/p>

The police found Marcus and his vehicle on a road with train tracks. According to the officers, Jordan had slurred speech, red eyes, the smell of alcohol, and “appeared not to know where he was.”<\/p>

Additionally, WESH2 reported that the arrest statement noted that the police found a “transparent plastic bag with a white powdery substance” in Jordan’s pocket, which was later identified as cocaine. The report also stated that Marcus paid his bail and was released on Tuesday afternoon. <\/p>

Who is Marcus Jordan<\/strong>? -Son of Legendary Michael Jordan<\/h2>

Marcus, son of Legendary Michael Jordan, is himself a former college basketball player who played for the UCF Knights men’s basketball team. During his college, Jordan was in the final year of a five-year contract with Adidas but had to lose the deal, as he would keep wearing Air Jordans by Nike, as a mark of loyalty to father. <\/p>

During his college career, he scored 1,152 points and also led UCF to a win against the University of West Florida. Similar to his professional life, his personal life was not stable either, and has been marred by several controversies. He was arrested in 2012 for drunken argument and was charged with disorderly conduct. Both Marcus and his family have maintained silence on the matter. <\/p>\n
