AceShowbiz - Marcus Jordan, 34, pleaded not guilty to his second-degree misdemeanor DUI charge, as reported by People. His attorneys requested a jury trial and waived his first court appearance, with a pretrial conference scheduled for March 20.
The same day, Jordan also pleaded not guilty to a felony cocaine possession charge and a first-degree misdemeanor charge for resisting an officer without violence. His attorneys have also requested a jury trial for these non-DUI charges although a court date has yet to be set.
Jordan's arrest stem from an incident on February 4 when officers noticed his Lamborghini SUV stopped on train tracks in Maitland, Florida. According to the arrest report, Marcus admitted to consuming alcohol that evening and said he made a "wrong turn" onto the tracks.
Despite his bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, and disoriented appearance, he insisted, "I appreciate your concerns, but I am not inebriated." He was taken into custody after failing a field sobriety test and a small bag of white substance, which tested positive for cocaine, was found inside his pocket.
Bodycam footage later revealed that Jordan asked officers for help getting his car off the tracks while under the influence. He also identified himself as Marcus Jordan, Michael Jordan's son.
"I appreciate everyone reaching out," Marcus wrote on Instagram following his arrest but he "won't be making any comments on recent media stories and my personal life."
