Former University of Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore was detained by police after being fired for an “inappropriate” relationship with a staff member.
Moore, 39, was involved in an incident on Wednesday, December 10, that required police attention, the Saline, Michigan, chief of police confirmed to The Detroit News.
Saline borders Ann Arbor, the home of the University of Michigan.
According to ESPN’s Dan Wetzel, the City of Saline Police Department “assisted in locating and detaining” Moore.

Moore was then turned over to the Pittsfield Police Department “for investigation into potential charges,” per a statement.
Just hours earlier, the University of Michigan announced Moore had been fired after an investigation uncovered he had “engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.”
“This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior,” Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel said in a statement.
At this point, it is unclear if Moore being taken into custody is directly related to his termination.
