Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA legend Michael Jordan and a former University of Central Florida basketball player, was arrested Tuesday in Maitland, Fla., for cocaine possession, according to court records.
He was additionally charged with resisting arrest, but details were scant as records were not available Tuesday morning in the Orange County court system. A spokesperson for the Maitland Police Department did not immediately return a message seeking further information.
Marcus Jordan previously was arrested in 2012 after what police described as a drunken altercation outside a hotel in Omaha, Neb.
Jordan, then 21, was “very animated, intoxicated and uncooperative” with police outside the Embassy Suites, Omaha police said. He was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstructing justice. He was booked into the Douglas County Department of Corrections and later released.
Jordan, now 34, owns a store in downtown Orlando called The Trophy Room, a retail boutique that pays homage to his father while replicating the real-life trophy room of the Jordan family residence. He was recently a contestant on the second season of the Peacock show “The Traitors,” on which he was eliminated after three episodes.
Before going into business, Jordan played guard for the UCF basketball program beginning in the 2009-2010 season. He played two seasons alongside his brother Jeff Jordan before leaving the team in August 2012, scoring a career total of 1,182 points.
In his final season, he averaged 13.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists.
