Sherrone Moore is in custody in the Washtenaw (Michigan) County Jail on Wednesday evening, hours after Michigan fired him for cause as the program’s head coach.
The school announced it had parted ways with Moore after conducting an investigation that found “credible evidence” that he “engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member,” according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
Moore, 39, was detained by police in Saline, Michigan, around 4:10 p.m. as part of a Pittsfield Township Police Department assault investigation, according to Austin Meek and Sam Jane of The Athletic. The City of Saline Police Department said that Moore was turned over to authorities “for investigation into potential charges,” per Thamel and Dan Wetzel of ESPN.
