UPDATE 2/10/25 1:16 P.M. PST:
Marcus Jordan has pleaded not guilty to the DUI, cocaine possession, and resisting arrest charges he was slapped with on February 4.
According to multiple outlets, legal docs filed in the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida on Friday reveal his lawyers Warren W. Lindsey and Matthew P. Ferry asked for a trial by jury and waived his first court appearance. His next appearance, a pretrial conference, relating to the second-degree misdemeanor DUI charge is now scheduled for March 20. The legal team also requested a trial by jury for the felony cocaine and first-degree resisting arrest without violence charges, but no dates have been scheduled.
Marcus was released from custody the same day as his arrest on a $4,000 bond.

Marcus Jordan made sure cops knew who he was during his DUI arrest — and who he wanted to hear from!
Michael Jordan’s son was arrested in Florida on Tuesday on a DUI charge, cocaine possession, and resisting arrest… And we now have a much clearer idea of how things went down! In bodycam footage obtained by TMZ, Marcus is seen in his $100,000 Lamborghini SUV with a mystery woman — wedged on a train track! What?! In the footage, he tells responding officers:
“We thought we were making a right and I f**king turned onto the train tracks apparently.”
The officer then began to pat him down, which sends the 34-year-old into nepo baby mode:
“I’m Marcus Jordan, I’m Michael Jordan’s son. I’m not doing anything wrong.”
Classic move — “Don’t arrest me, my daddy is ___!” Though considering he’s a Black man being pulled over in America, we can’t fault him playing whatever card he’s got!

He adds in the footage:
“I’m just trying to get home and I made a wrong turn and clearly we would just like to get our car off the f**king train tracks.”
The officer responds:
“I’ve already got concerns for your level of impairment … I can smell alcohol coming from you and you’re on train tracks … that’s why I had to get you out of the car. Because if you’re spinning tires, I hear slurred speech from you, you’re driving on train tracks”
Marcus claims he’s “fine behind the wheel,” and “would like to get [his] car out of this,” but he seemed anything but fine. Because he apparently got aggressive with the cops!
According to Orange County Sheriff’s Office documents obtained by TMZ, Marcus refused to take a breathalyzer test and “aggressively and repeatedly” pulled away from officers. So, they took him into custody and transported him to a DUI testing facility in Orange County. And the car ride there was… Something. Take a look (below):
But that wasn’t the end of the music situation… When he finally arrived at the facility, cops noted he was “loud, profane and belligerent” and displayed “a sarcastic, patronizing attitude” towards them. They further claimed he “talked incessantly” and got “agitated and confrontational when given commands or asked questions.” And he had a BIG complaint about the tunes!
According to the documents, he demanded they do something about the music situation at the facility. He allegedly asked officers, “Can’t you play some holiday music or some s**t?” before specifically requesting one holiday icon in particular:
“Play some Mariah Carey up in this bitch.”
Jeez… Also, dude, it’s February! What’s with the holiday music request?? How out of it was he?? Pretty gone. Marcus allegedly called the whole ordeal a “f**king joke.”
Oof. This ain’t a good look! What are your reactions, Perezcious readers??
