Marcus Jordan Celebrates 40 Days of Sobriety After DUI & Drug Possession Arrest

Months after being charged with a DUI and drug possession, Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus, is starting anew.

Marcus has taken steps to improve his life, and now he’s celebrating being sober for a little over a month. He shared the news via his Instagram Story, which showed him getting a workout in alongside text that read, “40 days and counting…”

The 34-year-old’s new lifestyle comes after he was arrested in Florida back in February on possession of cocaine when he was found sitting in his Lamborghini, which got stuck on train tracks after leaving a strip club. Cops say the car had bumper damage and suspected it occurred after he fled from authorities who attempted to stop him for a traffic violation.

Cops noticed the smell of liquor coming from the car, his eyes were “bloodshot” and “glassy,” and they arrested him on suspicion of DUI when he failed the field sobriety test around 1 am. After placing him in cuffs, they conducted a thorough search and uncovered a baggy full of a substance that was later proven to be cocaine, and then amended to ketamine.

The complete list of offenses —all of which he pled not guilty to—includes one felony charge of ketamine possession, one misdemeanor count of DUI with property damage, and one count of resisting arrest.

He was released after posting a $4,000 bond, and his legal team later released a statement on his behalf acknowledging his substance abuse issues. They were also hoping a judge would order him to enter a treatment program, which would “not only benefit him personally but also serve the community by reducing the likelihood of future offenses.”

Days after the arrest, he was back home and thanked those who’d reached out to him. While refusing to offer any comment, he did say he planned to focus on his sneaker store, Trophy Room, which has been based in Florida since 2016.

“I appreciate everyone reaching out. I’m focusing on @trophyroomstore right now and won’t be making any comments on recent media stories and my personal life,” he wrote. “I sincerely appreciate your concerns & thank you for your kind understanding.”
