New details surrounding Marcus Jordan’s arrest for DUI, cocaine possession and resisting arrest have emerged, including how a Lamborghini SUV belonging to the 34-year-old son of NBA icon Michael Jordan was stuck on railroad tracks. Jordan is said to have told authorities “he had taken a wrong turn and needed help getting his car off the tracks,” TMZ reported Tuesday, which noted the situation transpired after 1 a.m. in Maitland, Fla.
