This follows his Dec. 10 arrest, after a 911 call was placed from a woman reporting that a man was attacking her in a Pittsfield Township apartment.
Moore was later detained and reportedly placed in protective custody by mental health professionals.
Background
The University of Michigan fired Moore on Wednesday, Dec. 10, following an investigation that found he engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
In a statement, Athletic Director Warde Manuel said, “This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior.”
At Moore’s Dec. 12 arraignment, prosecutors stated that Moore and the staff member “had an intimate relationship for a number of years.”
They added that on Monday, Dec. 8, the staff member ended the relationship, but Moore continued to make numerous calls and send texts that the victim did not respond to.
The victim reported this to the University of Michigan, which led to Moore’s termination.
Prosecutors say after he was fired on Dec. 10, Moore 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 was released on a $25,000 bond and is required to wear a GPS tether, undergo mental health treatment and have no contact with the victim.
