Marcus Jordan Admits To Substance Abuse Problem After DUI Arrest

Following his DUI arrest in February, Marcus Jordan has admitted to having substance abuse problems, PEOPLE reports.

In a new court filing, Jordan’s legal team requested that his client be allowed to enter a substance abuse program. The filing also stated that Jordan “acknowledges that he needs help to overcome the challenges of his alcohol/substance use and is amenable to treatment.”

“While Mr. Jordan acknowledges the seriousness of the charges against him, he respectfully submits that he is an ideal candidate for the Pre-Trial Substance Abuse Education and Treatment Intervention Program due to his strong desire to live as a responsible, drug-free, productive member in the community,” the court filing read.

“Mr. Jordan is dedicated to becoming a responsible, drug-free, and productive member of the community,” the filing continued. “His participation in the Pre-Trial Substance Abuse Education and Treatment Intervention Program will not only benefit him personally but also serve the community by reducing the likelihood of future offenses.”

On Feb. 4 in Orange County, Fla., officers discovered Jordan’s Lamborghini SUV was stuck on train tracks with the vehicle’s lights on. According to the police report, an oncoming train was approximately 10 minutes away from a scheduled stop on the tracks. Officers also noted that Jordan had “bloodshot eyes,” was slurring his words, and noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from him. 

“The tires were halfway buried in the dirt/rocks on the tracks from being spun repeatedly,” the report said.

They also said a small plastic bag with a white substance was found in Marcus’ pocket and later tested positive for cocaine.

“The tires were halfway buried in the dirt/rocks on the tracks from being spun repeatedly,” the report said. 

During the arrest, Jordan also said he took a “wrong turn” and wound up stuck in the tracks.
