"The Washtenaw County Jail did not provide information about why the 39-year-old Moore was detained, details on his bond or whether any court appearances were scheduled. In response to media inquires about Moore, the Pittsfield Township Police Department issued a statement that did not mention anyone by name. According to the statement, police were called to investigate an alleged assault in Pittsfield Township, a couple of miles south of Michigan Stadium, and took a person into custody."
"The incident was not random and there was no ongoing threat to public safety, police said, and the person was jailed pending a review of charges by prosecutors. Given the nature of the allegations, the need to maintain the integrity of the investigation, and its current status at this time, we are prohibited from releasing additional details, the statement said."
"Michigan fired Moore for cause after the school said it found evidence of his relationship with the staffer, ending an up-and-down, two-year tenure that saw the Wolverines take a step back on the field after winning the national championship and getting punished by the NCAA. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of university policy, and UM maintains zero tolerance for such behavior, athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement. The announcement did not include details of the alleged relationship."
Sherrone Moore was jailed less than 24 hours after Michigan fired him for an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. The Washtenaw County Jail did not provide reasons for his detention, bond details, or court dates. Pittsfield Township police said they were called to investigate an alleged assault, took a person into custody, described the incident as not random, and said there was no ongoing threat; the person was jailed pending prosecutors' review. Michigan fired Moore for cause after finding evidence of the relationship, citing a clear violation of university policy and asserting zero tolerance. Moore is married with three young daughters, went 9-3 this year after an 8-5 debut season, and had signed a five-year contract with a $5.5 million base salary; the university will not have to buy out remaining years because he was fired for cause.
