Incident Details
Marcus Jordan was arrested in Orange County, Florida, around 1:14 a.m. On February 4th, 2025. Officials discovered his Lamborghini SUV abandoned on railroad lines in Maitland, Florida.

When searching him, authorities found a cocaine-like substance inside his trousers. Jordan, who became combative during his arrest and refused to provide breath samples, was booked on multiple charges.
