New details surface about Marcus Jordan's DUI case

Marcus Jordan was arrested last month on charges related to driving while under the influence, and he has since reportedly admitted to having substance abuse issues.

Jordan, the 34-year-old son of NBA legend Michael Jordan, was arrested on Feb. 4 in Maitland, Florida. He allegedly fled from a traffic stop and got his Lamborghini SUV stuck on a set of train tracks. When police located Jordan, they determined he had been drinking and was in possession of drugs.

Jordan was originally charged with DUI with property damage, cocaine possession and resisting arrest. It was later determined that the substance he was found to be in possession of was ketamine and not cocaine, which led to the drug charge being updated.

According to a new court filing that was obtained by TMZ on Wednesday, Jordan and his attorneys have told authorities that the former UCF basketball player has been dealing with “challenges” related to alcohol and substance abuse. The documents state that Jordan is “amenable to treatment” and would like an opportunity to complete a Pre-Trial Substance Abuse Education and Treatment Intervention Program.

Jordan has offered to waive his right to a speedy trial if the judge grants the request.
