Michael Jordan’s son Marcus Jordan was arrested in the early hours of the morning of Tuesday after his SUV got stuck on some railroad tracks in Florida. The 34-year-old son of “His Airness” was charged with possession of cocaine and resisting an officer without violence.
According to court records, police officers found a blue Lamborghini stuck on railroad tracks near Maitland, Florida, around 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday. Marcus had apparently been trying to get the vehicle off the tracks after it got stuck. The responding officers also noted the vehicle’s damaged bumper.
When the officers noticed that Jordan was reeking of alcohol, they requested him to exit his vehicle to be inspected, and they found a bag of cocaine in his pants pocket.
Following his arrest, Marcus found himself receiving brutal bashings on social media, particularly Instagram. He would immediately disable the comments on his account, preventing bashers from posting any further comments on his posts.
Aside from disabling comments, Marcus had also hidden comments previously posted on his Instagram posts, rendering them unviewable. However, it would not stop users on X from blasting Michael Jordan’s son after his arrest.
“Imagine your dad being one of the most prolific athletes in history and you out here getting DUIs. Get a DWI like a real man,” said one X user.

Another X user seemingly seized the opportunity to give LeBron James a point in the GOAT debate, saying, “MJ you failed as a father. Lebron clears.”
