Sherrone Moore is facing three criminal charges after his arrest on Wednesday.
The former Michigan football coach was charged Friday with home invasion, stalking and illegal entry following his arrest in Pittsfield Township, Michigan on Wednesday, the same day he was fired by Michigan for an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.

The home invasion charge is a third-degree felony while the stalking and illegal entry charges are misdemeanors, according to a news release from the Washtenaw County District Court.
Moore faces up to five years in prison and/or a $2,000 fine for the felony charge. The stalking charge carries maximum penalties of one year in prison and/or a $1,000 fine, with up to five years of probation, while the breaking and entering charge carries maximum penalties of 90 days in prison and/or $500, according to the criminal complaint against Moore.
Per the criminal complaint, Moore “did break and enter, or did enter without permission, a dwelling” and “while entering, present in, or exiting the dwelling did commit Stalking.” The complaint also alleges that Moore “did engage in a willful course of conduct involving repeated or continuing harassment of Confidential Victim, an individual with whom the defendant has or has had a dating relationship, the conduct being such that would cause a reasonable person to feel terrorized or frightened or intimidated or threatened or harassed or molested, and such conduct did cause Confidential Victim to feel terrorized or to frightened or intimidated or threatened or harassed or molested.”
The complaint also alleges that Moore entered the victim’s residence “without first obtaining permission to enter from the person having immediate control thereof,” again noting that the victim was someone that Moore had a dating relationship with.
Moore was arraigned in Washtenaw County District Court on Friday. He paid a $25,000 bond to be released on the following conditions: wear a GPS monitor, have no contact with the victim and not go to the victim’s residence. A probable cause conference has been scheduled for Jan. 22 at 9 a.m.
During Moore’s arraignment, prosecuting attorney Kati Rezmierski said Moore “barged” his way into the victim’s apartment and “immediately then proceeded to a kitchen drawer, grabbed several butter knives and a pair of kitchen scissors and began to threaten his own life.”
“I'm gonna kill myself. I'm gonna make you watch. My blood is on your hands. You ruined my life,” Moore allegedly told the victim, per Rezmierski.
Rezmierski said the victim and Moore had a romantic relationship that ended Monday when the victim broke up with him.
Pittsfield Township Police said Moore was unarmed when he entered the victim’s residence through an unlocked door without permission and “engaged in a verbal argument with the victim that escalated.”

The Pittsfield Township Police Department initially confirmed Wednesday night in a media release that it was investigating an alleged assault by Moore and that the now-former Michigan coach was in custody at the Washtenaw County Jail pending review of charges by the Washtenaw County Prosecutor.
According to Wednesday’s media release, the Pittsfield Township Police Department responded to an assault allegation at 4:10 p.m., just 26 minutes before ESPN broke the news that Michigan had fired Moore. Soon after, Michigan confirmed that it fired Moore for cause after a university investigation found that Moore had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member.
