Marcus Jordan seeks substance abuse treatment after DUI

Marcus Jordan has asked a court for help with his alcohol and substance abuse issues. This comes six weeks after his arrest for driving under the influence (DUI). The 34-year-old was detained on February 4 in Orange County, Florida, when authorities found his car stuck on train tracks. Officers noticed he was slurring his words and had bloodshot eyes. They also claimed to smell alcohol and found a bag of white substance that tested positive for cocaine. Jordan has pleaded not guilty to charges including DUI, cocaine possession, and resisting arrest. His attorney has requested that he be allowed to enter a substance abuse treatment program. The lawyer stated that Jordan recognizes his issues and wants to seek help. The filing noted that he aims to become a responsible, drug-free member of the community. In a post on Instagram on February 6, Jordan expressed his desire to focus on his business, Trophy Room, instead of his legal problems. He thanked his fans for their support but opted not to comment further on the situation. Jordan was also recognized for his basketball career at the University of Central Florida. In addition to this recent arrest, he faced legal issues in 2012 when he was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after a confrontation outside a hotel. He later pleaded no contest to a lesser charge.
