After being arrested Wednesday night, it appears Sherrone Moore will remain in jail for the foreseeable future.
The former Michigan head coach “remains under active investigation by law enforcement” and potential charges are not expected to be announced until at least Friday, officials told PK Press Club Digital.
“Mr. Moore remains in custody at the Washtenaw County Jail. As the investigation remains active, we are unable to comment further at this time, but our office will provide an update once a decision on charges is made,” the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office said.

Moore was fired Wednesday, and the University of Michigan quickly announced it had found credible evidence of an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member. Shortly after, he was incarcerated in the Michigan prison.
“This conduct constitutes a flagrant violation of University policy and UM maintains zero tolerance for such behavior,” said Athletic Director Warde Manuel.
