ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Newly released 911 audio reveals what Sherrone Moore’s wife said happened in the moments after the former Michigan football coach was fired.
Here is the audio:
Moore was dismissed on Wednesday, Dec. 10, following reports of an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
Shortly after his termination, a woman called 911 from a Pittsfield Township apartment, reporting that a man was attacking her.
“Caller told her there’s a male at the location and he’s been stalking her for months,” one dispatcher said.
Another dispatcher added, “The person she’s on the phone with said that S1 grabbed a knife, threatened to kill her, and then ran, threw the knife down.”
Around 4:30 p.m., dispatchers received another call from Moore’s wife in Ann Arbor, stating that he was suicidal after losing his job.
Below is the transcript of that phone call:
911 dispatch: 911, where is your emergency?
Wife: I’m worried that my husband’s going to hurt himself, and I need you- Can you guys track his phone?
