Marcus Jordan, the son of basketball legend Michael Jordan, was arrested in Orange Country, Florida on Monday, February 3. Reports indicate Jordan was arrested on charges of cocaine possession, DUI, and resisting arrest.
According to reports, the 34-year-old Marcus Jordan was found to be in possession of cocaine, classified as a Class A drug, when he was stopped by police. TMZ reports that it’s currently unclear exactly “what led up to his brush with the law.”
Jordan — the second eldest child of Jordan and his first wife Juanita Vanoy — was arrested on charges of DUI, cocaine possession and resisting arrest and taken to the Orange County Jail, where he was booked and had his mugshot taken, pictured below. Hs bond was set at $4,000.

Just last year, Jordan — who played college basketball at the University of Central Florida from 2009 to 2012 — was photographed snorting a white powder into his nose while having a meal in the south of France. The photo subsequently went viral.
Recent years have also seen Jordan in tabloid headlines due to his relationship with Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of his father’s famed former Chicago Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen. Jordan and Pippen, who is 16 years old than him, dated from 2022 until 2024.
“I think when you’re alone, you kind of either miss the person or realize maybe you’re not my guy. And I feel like that made me realize that I don’t think he’s my guy,” Pippen said of her decision to split with Jordan.
“I just think we’re on a different journey, you know? I feel like I have to be true to who I am, what I’m doing and what he’s doing, you know? I want him to be happy. He’s a great guy, but I just don’t feel like it’s for me.”
At this time, Marcus Jordan has not made a public statement about the arrest.
