Fired Michigan Coach Charged with Stalking, Home Invasion
Fired Michigan Coach Charged with Stalking, Home Invasion
The News
Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore faces three criminal charges, as his arraignment Friday revealed details of his actions that led to him being arrested and jailed hours after he was fired Wednesday.
Prosecutors charged Moore with felony third-degree home invasion and two misdemeanors: Stalking in a domestic relationship and breaking and entering. Moore was released from jail after meeting the $25,000 bond.
The arraignment and charges offered a window into Moore's actions after he was fired for cause due to an "inappropriate relationship with a staff member."
Prosecutors said Friday that Moore forced entry into the woman staff member's apartment and said, "I'm going to kill myself. I'm going to make you watch. My blood is on your hands. You ruined my life."
The woman called police after Moore barged into her apartment.
Timeline
First assistant prosecutor Kati Rezmierski detailed the timeline of Moore's actions after the firing, as he "barged his way" into the woman's apartment. He went to a drawer in the kitchen and "grabbed several butter knives and a pair of kitchen scissors" before threatening to take his own life.
Reactions
Rezmierski called Moore's behavior "a series of very, very threatening and intimidating and terrifying statements and behaviors."
Moore's defense attorney, Joe Simon, declined to say where Moore would stay upon release. He also wouldn't comment on Moore's state of mind or mental health.
Simon said that Moore had undergone a mental health evaluation and was turned back over to law enforcement.
What's Next
Some of the conditions that are part of Moore's $25,000 bond include GPS tether monitoring, no contact with the woman, and orders to not go to the woman's residence. There is a probable cause conference set for Jan. 22.

Moore appeared by videoconference at the arraignment, stating his name and clearly answering two questions with, "Yes, your honor." He wore a white jumpsuit, his expression sullen and his hands folded on his lap. He appeared to wince as the prosecutor went through the timeline of his actions.
The prosecutor also detailed that Moore had an "intimate relationship" with the woman he worked with for "a number of years" before she ended the relationship Monday.
The split prompted a flurry of calls and texts from Moore that the woman did not return. Moore is married to another woman, and they have three children.
Moore's actions in the wake of his former lover breaking up with him led her to go to officials at Michigan and detail their relationship. The school had previously investigated a tip about the situation, sources have told ESPN but could not prove it occurred.
The woman's admission and supporting evidence led the school to quickly dismiss Moore for cause, saying he violated both his contract and university policy. Michigan will not have to pay Moore the nearly $12.3 million remaining on his deal because he was fired for cause.
