Moore, 39, faces a third-degree home invasion felony and two misdemeanor counts of stalking in a domestic relationship and breaking and entering, according to court records. Prosecutors allege that Wednesday evening, he unlawfully entered the home of a woman with whom he had an intimate relationship after she ended their relationship earlier in the week. And again, just hours after Moore was fired by the Wolverines for having an inappropriate relationship with the woman, who reportedly worked for him directly.

Pittsfield Township police responded to a call from the woman, who told dispatchers that a man had been stalking her for months and was attacking her in her home, according to the criminal complaint. The woman had ended the relationship, and prosecutors said Moore continued to contact her with unwanted calls and messages. A prosecutor said today in Ann Arbor District Court, that Moore pulled knives from the woman’s kitchen drawer and made threatening statements.

“I’m going to kill myself, I’m going to make you watch. My blood is on your hands,” Rezmierski relayed to the judge. Moore was arrested and booked into the Washtenaw County Jail, where he remained until his arraignment today. In court, he appeared virtually wearing a white jumpsuit and was ordered to post a $25,000 surety bond with conditions that include GPS monitoring, avoiding contact with the victim and continued mental health treatment. His attorney insisted he was not a threat to the public and has no criminal record.

After the internal investigation found that Moore was involved with a staffer, a violation of school policy, the remainder of his contract was voided. Moore served as Michigan’s head coach for two seasons, leading the Wolverines to a 9-3 record in 2025. He had been promoted to the position in 2024 following the departure of Jim Harbaugh. Associate head coach Biff Poggi has been named interim coach for the team’s upcoming bowl game. Moore’s next hearing is in January of 2026.
