In the wee hours of Tuesday, Michael Jordan's son Marcus Jordan was arrested after his SUV was found stuck on Florida railroad tracks. Jordan, 34, would be charged with possession of cocaine and resisting an officer without violence.
In the aftermath of Marcus Jordan's arrest, he found himself on the receiving end of brutal backlash on social media. Netizens would later notice that the comments button on Jordan's Instagram account was no longer visible, meaning that the son of the Chicago Bulls icon had disabled comments on his account:

Outside of Jordan's captions for his posts, previous comments on his Instagram posts are no longer visible, either. However, posts on X (formerly Twitter) about his Tuesday arrest are filled with the type of scathing remarks that, in all likelihood, led him to turn off IG comments:
"MY DADS GONNA KILL ME!!!!!!!!" said one online user sarcastically.
"Imagine your dad being one of the most prolific athletes in history and you out here getting DUIs. Get a DWI like a real man," said another online user.
"MJ you failed as a father. Lebron clears," commented another netizen.
Per court records, police officers found a blue Lamborghini stuck on railroad tracks near Maitland, Florida, shortly after 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday. Marcus Jordan, who was inside the vehicle, had apparently been trying to get it off the tracks after its tires were partially buried in the dirt. Police also noted damage to the vehicle's bumper.
When the officers smelled alcohol and noticed Jordan's slurring, they requested him to exit the vehicle. A bag of cocaine was later found in Jordan's pants.
