Sherrone Moore Mugshot Revealed

The situation surrounding former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore escalated dramatically on Wednesday, and now we have the first official mugshot connected to the case. Moore, who was fired for cause by the University of Michigan earlier in the day, was later taken into custody and booked at the Washtenaw County Jail, according to court records.

And the fallout continues.

How We Got Here

Moore’s dismissal came after an internal investigation at Michigan determined he had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, a clear violation of university policy. Athletic director Warde Manuel didn’t mince words in his announcement:

“Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately. Following a university investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and UM maintains zero tolerance for such behavior.”

Hours later, things took an even more serious turn.

Police Detention and New Details From Authorities

According to statements from both Saline Police and Pittsfield Township Police, Moore was detained Wednesday evening as part of an ongoing investigation into a reported assault.

Here’s what we know:

• Saline Police assisted in locating and detaining Moore, confirming: “Mr. Moore was turned over to the Pittsfield Township Police Department for investigation into potential charges.”
• Pittsfield Township Police stated officers responded at 4:10 p.m. Wednesday to investigate an alleged assault.
• A suspect, not named in the statement, but confirmed through custody records to be Moore, was taken into custody.
• The department emphasized that: “This incident does not appear to be random in nature, and there appears to be no ongoing threat to the community.”
• No charges have been formally filed yet.
• The investigation is still active, and authorities say they are prohibited from releasing further details due to the nature of the allegations.

Moore remained jailed Wednesday night pending review by the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office.

A Stunning Fall for a Once-Rising Coach

Moore, just 39 years old, went from national championship–winning assistant to Michigan’s full-time head coach in the span of a year. After Jim Harbaugh’s departure to the Chargers following the 2023 title run, Moore stepped into the head coaching role and went 16–8 (11–6 Big Ten) over two seasons.

Now, everything has unraveled in less than 24 hours.

The Mugshot and What Comes Next

The newly released mugshot marks another surreal chapter in a day that saw Moore go from leading a major Big Ten program to facing potential criminal charges.

As of now:

• Moore remains in custody.
• No formal charges have been announced.
• The investigation is ongoing.
• More information is expected after review by the prosecutor’s office.

This is a developing story, and updates are likely as investigators continue their work.

Bottom Line

What began as an internal university matter has quickly spiraled into a criminal investigation, a firing, and now the release of a mugshot that underscores just how dramatically Sherrone Moore’s trajectory has shifted. Michigan fans, players, and the broader college football world are watching closely as the next steps unfold.
