Sherrone Moore charged with stalking, home invasion after being fired as Michigan football coach

 Fired University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore broke into the apartment of a woman with whom he had been having an affair and threatened to kill himself after she reported the relationship to the school and he lost his job, prosecutors said Friday.

Moore was charged with three crimes, including home invasion and stalking.


Fired University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore broke into the apartment of a woman with whom he had been having an affair and threatened to kill himself after she reported the relationship to the school and he lost his job, prosecutors said Friday.

Moore was charged with three crimes, including home invasion and stalking.

As he watched by video from jail, authorities laid out extraordinary allegations against Moore and provided details that answered a key question: What led Michigan to suddenly oust the 39-year-old coach Wednesday after his second season at the helm of the storied football program?

Moore and the woman had been having an affair "for a number of years" before she ended the relationship Monday, said Kati Rezmierski, Washtenaw County first assistant prosecutor.

Moore repeatedly called the woman and texted her, but she refused to respond, Rezmierski said.

"Eventually she presented herself to the University of Michigan. Cooperated in some form of an investigation. As we all now know (Moore) was fired from his employment," the prosecutor said.

Moore was dismissed for an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, the school said Wednesday without offering details.

After losing his job, Moore soon arrived at the woman's apartment and "barged his way" in, Rezmierski told a judge.

"Then proceeded to a kitchen drawer, grabbed several butter knives and a pair of kitchen scissors. And began to threaten his own life," she said.

The prosecutor quoted Moore as telling the woman: "I'm going to kill myself. I'm going to make you watch. My blood is on your hands. You've ruined my life."

"She was terrorized," Rezmierski said.

A not-guilty plea was entered on Moore's behalf by District Court Magistrate Odetalla Odetalla, and he was released from jail after meeting the $25,000 US bond. Moore said very little in court besides acknowledging that he must have no contact with the woman, among other conditions.
