Police detained Moore in Saline, Michigan, on Wednesday and turned him over to authorities in Pittsfield Township "for investigation into potential charges," ESPN noted. According to TMZ, a woman claimed Moore attacked her at her home after stalking her for months. The outlet shared dispatch audio from the alleged incident: #EXCLUSIVE ? TMZ Sports has obtained dispatch audio stemming from the alleged Sherrone Moore assault. https://t.co/F75acyiGie pic.twitter.com/d12cGW9DcQ — TMZ Sports (@TMZ_Sports) December 11, 2025 TMZ shared more: The audio states a call was made from a Michigan football employee's address in Ann Arbor, Michigan around 4 PM. The employee -- who has worked for the Wolverines for years -- was the executive assistant to the head coach, the position Moore held until he was fired for having an inappropriate relationship with a fellow staffer. It is unclear if the employee was the woman allegedly attacked ... or if the incident just so happened to take place at her home. The employee's name started to trend shortly after the news broke of Moore's termination ... with several unverified reports stating she was involved in the scandal. The employee has since deleted several social media accounts. Later on in the audio, obtained via Broadcastify, a report is made that the suspect's wife said he is suicidal ... and it's hard to make it out, but it sounds like it is due to "losing his job today." "The suspect was lodged at the Washtenaw County Jail pending review of charges by the Washtenaw County Prosecutor," Pittsfield police said in a statement Wednesday night, according to ESPN. "At this time, the investigation is ongoing. Given the nature of the allegations, the need to maintain the integrity of the investigation, and its current status at this time, we are prohibited from releasing additional details," it continued.
