Details emerge in Marcus Jordan arrest: Lamborghini was stuck on railroad tracks
New details released in the criminal case against Marcus Jordan, one of NBA star Michael Jordan's adult children, shows police arrested the reality TV star early Tuesday after his Lamborghini got stuck on a set of Florida railroad tracks.
According to court records obtained by Paste BN, just after 1:30 a.m., police found Jordan, 34, in the blue luxury SUV with the headlights parked on train tracks near Maitland, an Orange County suburb north of Orlando.
After confirming with local dispatchers a train was about 10 minutes away from approaching the railroad crossing area, court documents show, two Maitland Police Department officers approached the SUV where they said they saw the vehicle had sustained damage and learned Jordan had been attempting to get the vehicle off of the tracks.
"The tires were halfway buried in the dirt/rocks on the tracks from being spun repeatedly," an officer wrote in the criminal complaint. "I noticed the front bumper of the vehicle was covered in rocks from the tracks and there was damage to the bumper."
The complaint goes onto say police soon learned from dispatchers Jordan's vehicle was suspected of just fleeing a nearby a traffic stop initiated by the Seminole County Sheriff's Office. The county is directly north of Orange County.
Police also wrote Jordan's eyes were reportedly "bloodshot and glassy" at the scene and he was "confused where he was located."
