Michael Jordan’s Younger Son Arrested at Omaha Hotel

Michael Jordan’s Younger Son Arrested at Omaha Hotel

For a person who just got arrested for causing a disturbance outside an Omaha hotel, Micael Jordan’s younger son, Central Florida guard Marcus Jordan, certainly doesn't look that upset in his mug shot.

Omaha Police arrested and charged the younger son of NBA legend Michael Jordan with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and obstructing early Sunday morning after he got into a heated argument with two women in the driveway of an Embassy Suites hotel. The police report described young Jordan as "very animated, intoxicated and uncooperative," which perhaps explains the unusually chirpy mug shot.

According to the Omaha World-Herald, the young Jordan had planned to attend the U. S. Olympic Swim Trials last weekend to cheer for a high school friend Conor Dwyer and Dwyer's training partner, Ryan Lochte. Instead, he spent a few hours at Douglas County Correctional Center before being released by late Sunday afternoon.

The incident in Omaha certainly isn't the young Jordan's first bad record that launched on the headlines for reasons he would probably have preferred to avoid.

He cost Central Florida its shoe deal with Adidas as a freshman when he refused to wear a brand that wasn't Nike. He caused a stir in 2010 when he tweeted that he spent $56,000 during a two-day spree at the Mirage Resort Casino in Las Vegas. And he propositioned a porn star via Twitter earlier this year before claiming that was a mistake.

His arrest in Omaha would certainly hurt the young Jordan's basketball career.

Last month, sports gossip sites have it that he decided to pursue business interests rather than return to school. The nest day, a UCF spokesman confirmed the next day Jordan is not enrolled in summer session at the school but insisted the senior guard is expected back for fall semester.

Jordan’s son averaged a solid 13.9 points per game last season, but his 37.6 percent shooting and 31.3 percent shooting from behind the arc both have room for improvement.
