Levine & Levine Criminal Defense Attorney Sarissa Montague spoke with WWMT – News Channel 3 regarding additional court documents that have been released regarding fired University of Michigan Head Football Coach Sherrone Moore.
Moore was fired from his position for having an inappropriate relationship with a staff member, according to an announcement from Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel Dec. 10.
Among those court documents is Moore’s booking information, charging information and bond information. The release of the documents happened hours after University of Michigan Interim President Domenico Grasso announced the university had expanded its investigation to include an independent evaluation of culture, conduct, and procedures throughout the university’s athletic department.
“Students could be asked if they have any information,” Montague said during her interview with WWMT. “Athletes could be asking if they had any information, so maybe they’ll be interviewed and it could impact them in that way.”
Montague, who is not part of the case, explained that even with the publicity, this case will be investigated like many others.
“It’s my expectation that there will be a thorough investigation, and if it takes a short period of time, that’s fine,” she said. “But if it takes a long period of time, then they’re going to do everything that they need to do in order to make sure that all the information that they’re seeking is discovered.”
Shortly after his firing, Moore was arrested for allegedly forcing his way inside the staff member’s home near Ann Arbor-Saline Road, according to a release from the Pittsfield Township Police Department.
“This is a big deal within the football department, and I think we’d be naive if we didn’t believe that it could have an impact on some students considering or some student athletes who are considered to play them,” Montague said.
Prosecutors say Moore is facing the following charges:
- Third-degree home invasion for allegedly unlawfully entering the victim’s home to commit the crime of stalking, and committing that crime while inside. The charge is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $2,000 fine.
- Stalking for alleged repeated or continued harassment of the victim. Stalking is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
- Breaking and entering or entering without breaking for allegedly entering the home of a victim with whom Moore had a dating relationship. This charge is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine.
- He was given a $25,000 cash/surety bond. A judge also ordered that Moore continues his mental health evaluation, wears a GPS tether, has no contact with the victim, and does not go to the victim’s home.
- Moore is scheduled to appear for a probable cause conference on Jan. 22, 2026.
