ANN ARBOR (WWJ) -- Former University of Michigan football head coach Sherrone Moore is facing criminal charges — scheduled to appear for an arraignment in Washtenaw County court in Ann Arbor, Friday afternoon.
Moore, 39, was fired for cause from his job with U-M on Wednesday, after it was discovered he "engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member," according to the school.
A short time after news of the firing broke, Wednesday afternoon, Pittsfield Township Police responded to a call about an assault an apartment on Ann Arbor Saline Road.
A female caller told a 911 dispatcher that Moore was armed with a knife and had been stalking her for months, as heard on audio released of the 911 call.
Moore fled the scene before police arrived, but was taken into custody a short distance away.
On Friday, the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office confirmed that Moore remained lodged in the Washtenaw County Jail while awaiting his court appearance, which is scheduled for 1 p.m.
Officials said, however, that information about the charges will be released until after Moore is arraigned.
There's no mugshot for Moore at this time. In a statement, the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office does not provide booking photos in a case, "unless there is an overwhelming public safety emergency and/or concern."
Meanwhile, WWJ's Brendan Schabath said an external review is planned at U-M. to look into the way the Sherrone situation was handled.
"The entire saga has called into question the Athletic Director at Michigan, Warde Manuel, and whether he will remain with the Wolverines," Schabath said. "Sherrone Moore's arrest marks at least the sixth Michigan staff member to be arrested since Manuel has been employed and hired by Michigan back in 2016." Manuel does remain in his job, at least for the time being.
Biff Poggi has has been appointed to the position of head football coach in an interim capacity.
