Here’s everything that led up to Moore’s arraignment:
Moore Fired
On Wednesday, Dec. 10, the University of Michigan fired Moore following an investigation that found he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
University of Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel said, “This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior. Biff Poggi has been appointed head football coach in an interim capacity, effective immediately.”
First 911 Call
Following his termination on Dec. 10, a 911 call was placed at 4 p.m. from a woman reporting that a man was attacking her in a Pittsfield Township apartment.
“Caller told her there’s a male at the location and he’s been stalking her for months,” one dispatcher relayed.
Another transmission followed, “The person she’s on the phone with said that S1 grabbed knife, threatened to kill her, and then ran, threw the knife down.”
Second 911 Call
At around 4:30 on Dec. 10, dispatchers received another call, reportedly from Moore’s wife in Ann Arbor, stating that he was suicidal after losing his job.
“Pittsfield units, this is referencing a domestic, [...] a call from S1’s wife in Ann Arbor saying that the subject is suicidal after losing his job today.”
Arrest
Moore was arrested on Dec. 10 by Pittsfield Township police near Willis and Bishop roads in Saline.
Placed in protective custody
Moore was reportedly placed in protective custody by mental health professionals overnight following his arrest.
A source told NBC Sports on Thursday, Dec. 12, that the university was allegedly informed before Wednesday that Moore was struggling with mental health issues.
However, Manuel reportedly dismissed Moore alone, without an HR representative or security present.
Court arraignment
During Moore’s arraignment on Dec. 12, prosecutors said Moore and the victim “had an intimate relationship for a number of years.”
They added that on Dec. 8, the victim ended the relationship, but Moore continued to make numerous calls and send texts that went unanswered.
The victim reported the incident to the University of Michigan, which led to Moore’s firing.
Prosecutors say that after Moore was fired, he showed up at the victim’s apartment, opened a kitchen drawer, and grabbed “several butter knives and a pair of kitchen scissors,” then threatened to harm himself.
Moore allegedly said, “I’m gonna kill myself, I’m gonna make you watch,” and “my blood is on your hands, you ruined my life.”
Prosecutors said Moore left the residence after the victim threatened to call a lawyer and the police.
Moore’s bond was set at $25,000.
Upon release, he must wear a GPS tether, undergo mental health treatment, and have no contact with the victim.
Moore is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on Jan. 22, 2026, at 9 a.m.
