Sherrone Moore, fired UM football coach, expected to be arraigned Friday, police say

(FOX 2) - Sherrone Moore, the fired University of Michigan football coach, is expected to appear in court on Friday.

A news release from the Pittsfield Township Police, the department that took Moore into custody hours after he was terminated at UM, said he is expected to appear in court for an arraignment on Dec. 12.

"This investigation is ongoing and under review by the Washtenaw County Prosecutor. The suspect remains in custody at the Washtenaw County Jail and is expected to appear in court for arraignment on 12/12/25," a statement read.

The Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office previously said on Thursday that the case was under investigation and that Moore would not appear for an arraignment today.

Moore was taken into custody late Wednesday night, hours after he was terminated from his position at UM for cause. The school said he was in an inappropriate relationship with a member of the staff.

Moore remains lodged at the Washtenaw County jail, court records show. The Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office also confirmed Moore was at their facility. 

Former Michigan Football coach Sherrone Moore in custody

Former Michigan Football coach Sherrone Moore is in custody after an incident in Pittsfield Township. He was booked in the Washtenaw County Jail just hours after the school said he had been fired for an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.

The backstory:

Moore's termination as head coach of the University of Michigan football coach was announced by the school late Wednesday afternoon.

According to the athletic director, Moore had "engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member."

The statement from the university did not go into details about the nature of the relationship or who the staff member was. Hours later, Moore was booked into the Washtenaw County Jail.

He was detained by Saline police before being transferred to Pittsfield Township police custody.

In response to inquiries from FOX 2 about Moore, Pittsfield Township police said it had responded to the 3000 block of Ann Arbor Saline Road in Pittsfield Township for "purposes of investigating an alleged assault."

Their statement did not identify an individual, but said it had taken a suspect into custody.

According to their statement, "the Department has received multiple media requests for information. A suspect in this case was taken into custody. This incident does not appear to be random in nature, and there appears to be no ongoing threat to the community."
