Fired Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore is expected to be arraigned Friday afternoon.
Officials with the court in Washtenaw County, Mich., said in a press release Friday they “received information” that a complaint would be filed by the county prosecutor’s office.
Potential charges remain unknown. The Washtenaw County press release stated, “As soon as we have charging information that will be shared.”
As of noon ET, jail records did not reflect any information about charges, bond or a potential release date for Moore. According to the Washtenaw County press release, “pending determination of probable cause by the magistrate, arraignment on this case” is expected to take place at 1 p.m. ET on Friday.
Moore has been behind bars since early Wednesday evening, hours after Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel announced the second-year coach was fired “for cause” after an investigation turned up “credible evidence” he had been involved in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
“This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior,” Manuel said in a statement.
Moore, 39, was taken into custody “for the purposes of investigating an alleged assault,” according to a Pittsfield Township Police Department news release. TMZ Sports reported Thursday that Moore was at the residence of a staff member in the football program at the time.
Michigan finished the season with a 9-3 record and a No. 18 ranking and a date to meet No. 13 Texas (9-3) in the Citrus Bowl on Dec. 31. Interim coach Biff Poggi will coach the Wolverines in the game.
