Sherrone Moore was jailed on Wednesday, according to court records, just hours after he was fired as University of Michigan football coach for what the university said was an "inappropriate relationship with a staff member."

According to the Washtenaw County Jail, the 39-year-old Moore had been booked into the facility as of Wednesday evening. The jail's records did not provide any information about why Moore was detained or whether any court appearances were scheduled.

In response to media inquiries about Moore, the Pittsfield Township Police Department issued a statement that did not mention anyone by name. According to the statement, police were called to investigate an alleged assault in Pittsfield Township, a short distance south of Michigan Stadium, and took a person into custody.
