ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) --- Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was
jailed on Wednesday, according to court records, hours after he was fired for
what the university said was an "inappropriate relationship with a staff
member."
According to the Washtenaw County Jail, the 39-year-old Moore had been booked
into the facility as of Wednesday evening. The jail's records did not provide
any information about why Moore was detained 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.
Moore's sudden dismissal Wednesday afternoon ended 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.
