Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, was arrested in Orange Country, Florida, on Monday and charged with DUI, cocaine possession, and resisting arrest.
He was booked at the Orange County Jail, had his mugshot taken, and was later released on a $4,000 bond.
Bodycam footage from one of the arresting officers shows that Marcus and a woman were inside a Lamborghini SUV that had somehow gotten stuck after rolling off the side of railroad tracks.
Jordan asked police officers to help him get the $300,000 vehicle (his claim) off the tracks, but they made it clear that wasn’t their primary concern.
As they requested a pat down, the second eldest child of Micheal Jordan and his first wife, Juanita Vanoy, brought up the NBA legend’s name.
“Bro,” he said. “I’m Marcus Jordan. I’m Michael Jordan’s son. I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m just trying to get home. And I made a wrong turn. OK?”
New police video, obtained by @TMZ_Sports, shows #MarcusJordan name-dropped his famous father to cops in an apparent effort to get out of trouble before his arrest on Tuesday morning.

Michael Jordan’s Son Marcus In Some Legal Trouble
Bro, it’s one thing to make a wrong turn down a side street. It’s another entirely different thing to turn down something that’s not a road at all.
Like train tracks.
“Clearly, we would just like to get our car off of the f***ing train tracks, which we were not trying to be on,” he explains to the officers.
After failing some field sobriety tests, an officer places handcuffs on Marcus Jordan, telling him, “I believe you’ve had too much to drink tonight.”
When they start searching him, a belligerent Jordan says the only thing they’ll find in his pants are some “big balls.”
To the contrary, they found a bag with a white powdery substance, which was not sugar he was delivering to a neighbor.
Jordan resists getting into the back of a patrol car and instead demands the officers “chill the f*** out.”

Past Problems
This isn’t the first time Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus, has had a run-in with the law.
In 2012, Jordan was cited as “very animated, intoxicated, and uncooperative” with police after a drunken altercation outside a hotel in Omaha, Nebraska.
He was charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and obstructing justice, then released before getting a sweetheart deal, pleading no contest to disturbing the peace, and paying a fine of $250 plus court costs.
Marcus Jordan played college basketball for the UCF Knights men’s basketball team after transferring from Whitney Young Magnet High School in Chicago, where he led his team to the Illinois 4A Championship in 2009.
