News reports state that Sherrone Moore was taken into custody in Saline, Michigan and then turned over to Pittsfield Township police for investigation into potential charges shortly after he was fired as Michigan’s head football coach. At this time, police and major outlets have not publicly specified an official criminal charge or detailed cause for the arrest, only that he is under investigation.
What is known
Moore was fired by the University of Michigan “for cause” after an internal investigation reportedly found credible evidence that he had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, which the school said violated university policy. Hours after that dismissal, local police located and detained him and transferred him to another jurisdiction for further inquiry into potential charges.
What is unknown or unconfirmed
As of the latest reporting, authorities have not released a specific legal reason or formal charge explaining why he was arrested or detained. Some online rumors speculate about possible violence or self-harm concerns, but these accounts have not been confirmed by law enforcement or major news organizations and should be treated as unverified.
Bottom line
Publicly available information indicates that Moore’s firing is linked to an alleged inappropriate relationship, while his subsequent arrest is described only as a detention for investigation into potential charges, with no official cause publicly disclosed so far. Until police or prosecutors release formal documents or charges, the exact legal reason for his arrest remains unknown to the public.
