ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Bodycam video of the arrest of former Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore has been released.
Moore was arrested on Dec. 10 after a 911 call reporting a man attacking a woman in a Pittsfield Township apartment.
The man ended up being Moore, who broke into former assistant Paige Shiver’s apartment to confront her about him losing his job over her reporting him to the University of Michigan for having an inappropriate relationship.
Pittsfield Township officials, alongside Saline police, can be seen placing Moore in the back of the police cruiser while wearing the Block M across his chest.
Moore was visibly emotional and could be heard hysterically, saying, “She ruined my life.”
He was later detained and placed in protective custody by mental health professionals.
During his Dec. 12 arraignment, prosecutors said Moore and the Shiver had been involved in an intimate relationship “for a number of years.”
Prosecutors said Shiver ended the relationship on Dec. 8, but Moore continued calling and texting her, leading to his firing after she reported him on Dec. 10 to the university.
On Dec. 10, Moore went to Shiver’s apartment, grabbed “several butter knives and a pair of kitchen scissors” from a drawer, and threatened to hurt himself.
Moore left after Shiver threatened to call her lawyer and the police.
Moore was released on a $25,000 bond and was ordered to wear a GPS tether, undergo mental health treatment, and have no contact with the woman.
Plea deal
Moore has pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges in connection with the case involving his alleged inappropriate relationship with Shiver as part of a plea deal.
He was scheduled to appear in the 14-A District Court in Washtenaw County on March 6 before Judge Cedric Simpson for an evidentiary hearing.
However, when Moore was in court on Friday (March 6), he pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charges of malicious use of a telecommunications device involving a domestic relationship (punishable by up to six months in jail) and trespassing (punishable by up to 30 days in jail).
As part of the plea, the charges Moore was initially issued, third-degree home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering, have been dismissed.
Moore is scheduled to be sentenced at 2 p.m. on April 14.
Paige Shiver urge action
Attorneys Andrew M. Stroth and Steven A. Hart issued a statement on behalf of Shiver after former Moore entered a no-contest plea in his criminal trespassing case.
Moore pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor charges in connection with a case involving his alleged inappropriate relationship with Shiver as part of a plea deal.
Moore was scheduled to appear in the 14-A District Court in Washtenaw County on March 6 before Judge Cedric Simpson for an evidentiary hearing.
The statement, released on March 6, says the plea “represents a critical moment of acknowledgment and accountability following a frightening and deeply disturbing incident.”
Moore’s no-contest plea was entered a mere days following a report alleging his failure to report sexual assault allegations against former assistant coach LaTroy Lewis.

As part of the plea, the charges he was initially issued, third-degree home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering, have been dismissed.
Stroth and Hart said Shiver was forced to endure years of manipulation, harassment, and exploitation by Moore, who held enormous power over professional life as the head coach of one of the nation’s most prominent college football programs.
Stroth and Hard said Moore’s plea confirmed the seriousness of the criminal misconduct, but the case was about far more than one terrifying incident.
They said his actions raised urgent and troubling questions about how a powerful figure within a major university athletic program could engage in years of inappropriate conduct toward a subordinate without meaningful intervention or oversight.
