Sherrone Moore Seen in Mugshot Before Allegedly Telling Police About His Affair with Michigan Staffer

A stoic Sherrone Moore looks straight into the camera in a mugshot taken the night of Dec. 10, when he was booked into custody at the Washtenaw Corrections Division in Michigan.

That mugshot, along with booking and charging documents tied to Moore’s criminal case, were released Thursday by Washtenaw County officials.

The documents became public the same day Moore — until this month the head football coach at the University of Michigan — learned he had been fired after a female staffer filed a report with the school about their relationship.

After he was booked, Moore sat for an interview with police. During that interview, he allegedly acknowledged being in an “intimate relationship for approximately two years” with the staffer.

Detective Jessica Welker of the Pittsfield Township Police described that interview during a Dec. 12 complaint authorization hearing in Michigan’s 14A-1 District Court, where she testified as the only witness.

Welker said Moore denied the staffer’s allegations about his conduct on Dec. 10.

According to Welker’s testimony, the staffer reported that she and her lawyer filed her complaint with the school that day, after which she returned home to pack and leave town.

As she was preparing to leave, the staffer alleged Moore entered her home without permission, backed her into a corner while holding knives, and then turned the knives on himself while threatening to kill himself and force her to watch, Welker said.

Moore denied threatening the staffer or attempting to harm himself, Welker testified. She also told the court that the staffer’s lawyer had alleged Moore had a “long history of domestic violence” during the relationship.

Welker’s testimony came immediately before Moore’s arraignment.

Ultimately, authorities did not file assault charges against Moore related to the alleged Dec. 10 incident. He is, however, charged with felony third-degree home invasion, along with misdemeanor stalking and breaking and entering.

Moore posted $25,000 bail after the hearing and was released after spending just under 48 hours in custody. The judge ordered him to take anger management classes, wear a GPS tether, and have no contact with the alleged victim.

Moore, who was set to receive $12.3 million in salary over the next three years under his University of Michigan contract, is now out of a job and due back in court on Jan. 22, 2026, for a probable cause hearing.

He was fired by the school for allegedly violating a policy adopted in recent years that regulates workplace relationships.

Moore, who has three young daughters with his wife, Kelli, has not publicly commented on his firing or the charges.
