Michael Jordan's son Marcus name drops father name to avoid arrest

Michael Jordan's son, Marcus Jordan, has been in the news for quite some time now. Since he had started dating Scottie Pippen's ex-wife, Larsa Pippen. Marcus has faced a series of dating rumors and recently made headlines for the wrong reasons.

On Feb. 3, Marcus Jordan was arrested in Maitland, Florida, for running his car into the railway tracks. The charges against the son of the NBA legend included resisting arrest, DUI and cocaine possession.

However, after the arrest, a clip of Marcus speaking with the police went viral. The video showed Marcus' car on the railway tracks while he told the officials to let him go. The video went viral because Marcus was heard trying to name-drop his father, Michale Jordan, to avoid the arrest.

"I am Marcus Jordan. I am Michael Jordan's son," he is heard saying in the video. "I am not doing anything wrong. I am just trying to get home, and I made a wrong turn.

"And clearly, we would like to get our car out of the f***ing train tracks, which we were not trying to be on."

It was later revealed that while Marcus was being taken to jail, he kept singing.

Jordan was taken to Orange County after his arrest and kept in jail for a few hours before he was bailed out by an unknown person. His bail money was set at $4000.

Cocaine possession is not the first time that such allegations have been made against Marcus Jordan. In August last year, he was pictured snorting a white substance in Italy.
