Marcus Jordan, son of basketball legend Michael Jordan and a frequent figure on reality television, was arrested after he was allegedly out drinking at a Florida strip club before getting his car stuck on railroad tracks early Tuesday, authorities said.

The 34-year-old Jordan, who last played competitive basketball at the University of Central Florida in 2012, was booked on suspicion of DUI, drug possession and resisting arrest.

Maitland police officers came upon a blue Lamborghini stuck in railroad tracks near Greenwood Drive and Mechanic Street at about 1:14 a.m., according to an affidavit supporting Jordan’s arrest.

The officers were told that the car had fled from Seminole County Sheriff’s deputies minutes earlier, the court document said.

“I stood at the window and immediately detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from the vehicle,” an arresting officer wrote in the affidavit. “The defendant kept saying he made a wrong turn and needed assistance getting his vehicle off the railroad tracks. I noticed the driver had slurred speech and he was confused where he was located. I noticed the driver had red bloodshot and glassy eyes.”

Jordan, who has made several appearances on Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Miami” and was featured on Peacock’s “The Traitors,” told police he bad been drinking and was “coming from a few venues in Winter Park and Casselberry to include the last place he visited of Rachels Gentleman’s Club,” according to the affidavit.

The officers also found a “plastic baggie with a white powdery substance inside” the “right pocket of his pants,” before field tests showed it to be cocaine, officials said.

The 6-foot-3 Jordan was not cooperative during the arrest and tried to extend his legs in the back of the squad guard to keep officers from closing the door, officials said.

Police eventually “transported the Defendant to the Orange County DUI Center” and “on “the way to the center, my patrol vehicle began smelling strongly like an alcoholic beverage in which it did not smell that way prior to the defendant being in the vehicle.”

“The Defendant was singing the entire way to the DUI Center and his speech was slurred,” according to the affidavit.

Jordan appeared to still be in custody by late Tuesday morning, jail records showed.

It wasn’t immediately clear if he had hired or been assigned a criminal defense lawyer to speak on his behalf. A representative for Michael Jordan could not be immediately reached for comment on Tuesday.
