Newly released police bodycam footage reveals that Marcus Jordan, son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, attempted to use his father’s name to evade trouble before his arrest early Tuesday morning.
The video, captured by Maitland Police Department officers at around 1:14 AM, shows Jordan stranded in a $300,000 Lamborghini SUV stuck on train tracks, desperately trying to free the vehicle while showing clear signs of intoxication, as reported by TMZ.

The footage begins with Jordan revving the engine, hoping to dislodge the SUV from the tracks.
When that failed, he repeatedly asked officers for help, but as his speech slurred and he struggled to maintain balance, law enforcement made it clear they weren’t there to assist with his luxury car’s predicament.
Instead, officers informed him they needed to pat him down. That’s when Jordan resorted to his last-ditch effort: name-dropping his Hall of Fame father.
“Bro, I’m Marcus Jordan. I’m Michael Jordan’s son,” he told an officer. “I’m not doing anything wrong. I’m just trying to get home. And I made a wrong turn. OK?”
He continued his plea, emphasizing that he just wanted to get his car off the train tracks, as if that were a valid excuse for his condition.
After Jordan admitted to having a “few beverages” before getting behind the wheel, officers administered field sobriety tests. According to the police report, he failed.
Officers promptly placed him in handcuffs, informing him, “I believe you’ve had too much to drink tonight.” Jordan, of course, disagreed.

Things took a turn when police searched his pockets and found a small baggie filled with a white, powdery substance. Later, police documents confirmed it tested positive for cocaine. Not exactly a good look.
Frustrated, Jordan lashed out at officers. In a bizarre moment, he told them the only thing they’d find in his pants was a “big d*ck and some big balls.”
The situation escalated further when officers attempted to place him in the squad car. Jordan resisted, yelling at officers to “chill the f*** out.” Eventually, they managed to get him in the vehicle, but the antics didn’t stop there.
On the ride to jail, Jordan debated his level of fame with an officer and sang along with the police radio, as if he were on some joyride instead of heading to a jail cell.
If that wasn’t enough, new dashcam footage shows that just before his arrest, Jordan managed to briefly evade a Seminole County Sheriff’s officer. The deputy attempted to pull him over around 1:03 AM, but Jordan hit the gas and sped off.

Rather than pursue, the deputy pulled over and radioed in the incident. About ten minutes later, Maitland officers found Jordan’s car stuck on the railroad tracks, bringing his wild night to an embarrassing end.
Marcus Jordan, 34, now faces three charges: DUI crash causing property damage, possession of cocaine, and resisting an officer without violence. He refused a breathalyzer test and was released from custody a few hours later.

Neither Marcus nor his famous father has commented on the incident. But let’s be honest, name-dropping your dad doesn’t work when you’re caught red-handed with drugs and a DUI.
