ANN ARBOR, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Ex-Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore has reportedly been released from jail after being arraigned on Friday for felony home invasion along with misdemeanor charges of stalking and breaking and entering.
Moore’s charges stem from an alleged string of events on Wednesday. After U of M fired Moore “with cause” for an inappropriate relationship with a staffer, he allegedly confronted that staffer at her home, brandished a knife, and threatened to take his own life.

Washtenaw County Prosecutor Kati Rezmierski detailed a timeline of events. “Our victim broke up with this defendant on Monday morning. There continued to be defendant making numerous phone calls, sending numerous texts, from that time forward that she did not respond to and did not want. That, eventually, she presented herself to the University of Michigan, cooperated in some form of investigation there. As we all now know, defendant at some point on Wednesday afternoon was fired from his employment.
Rezmierski continued, “He then at some point thereafter came to her apartment at the address that is in the complaint, barged his way into that apartment, immediately then proceeded to a kitchen drawer, grabbed several butter knives and a pair of kitchen scissors and began to threaten his own life. [Moore said] ‘I’m going to kill myself. I’m going to make you watch. My blood is on your hands. You ruined my life.'”
Rezmierski finished by saying, “A series of very, very threatening, intimidating, terrifying, quite frankly, statements and behaviors [happened] there in the apartment. It was only then, your honor, at some point the victim called her attorney and indicated she was going to call the police and then he left.”
The magistrate set a $25,000 bond. The 39-year-old Moore must also wear an electronic tether. In addition, Moore must have no contact with the victim.
Meanwhile, Michigan has named Biff Poggi the interim head coach. The Wolverines will try and separate from this scandal when they take the field in Orlando, Florida at the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31. Two days later, the team could have its hands full when the transfer portal opens on Jan. 2.
