Former Michigan Wolverines HC Sherrone Moore sees legal issues come to a conclusion following sentencing
Former Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore was sentenced on Tuesday following misdemeanor charges stemming from December arrest.
In December, former Michigan Wolverines head coach Sherrone Moore was fired for an “inappropriate relationship” with a staff member. As the saga unfolded, however, the case took a turn when Moore was later detained by police following breaking and entering the staff member’s residence.
Moore was arraigned in December shortly after his arrest. Now, a judge has sentenced Moore following the court proceedings on Tuesday, April 14th.
Sherrone Moore avoids jail time
Despite originally being charged with three charges, including a felony, Moore was sentenced on just two misdemeanors. Neither of those misdemeanors were his original charges.
Last month, Moore pleaded no contest to trespassing and malicious use of a telecommunications device involving a domestic relationship in exchange for dropping more serious charges, including a felony. Because of that deal, Moore only was sentenced for those two misdemeanors.
As a result, Moore was sentenced to 18 months’ probation and fined just over $1,000 Tuesday. The facts of the case did not warrant jail time for Moore, according to the judge overseeing the case.
“I don’t believe, when I look at the entirety of this situation, that incarceration should be appropriate,” District Court Judge Cedric Simpson said during Tuesday’s sentencing in Washtenaw County Court. “I warn you Mr. Moore, should there be a violation, all bets are off. I don’t like sending people to jail, but I don’t have a problem doing it.”
Moore has been barred from using drugs or alcohol, as well as any possession of firearms. Additionally, he is to not have any further contact with the female staffer he was in a relationship with.
