Moore Gets Hearing to Challenge Arrest After Firing

Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore has been granted an evidentiary hearing for March 2 to challenge the validity of his arrest following his dismissal amid a scandal.

Moore's attorney Ellen Michaels argued in court Tuesday that a detective failed to disclose that the alleged victim worked closely with him within the Michigan football program, creating a one-sided picture that established probable cause for his arrest.

Moore maintains his innocence after being fired in December and arrested hours later on charges including third-degree home invasion, stalking, and breaking and entering. Prosecutors argue the omitted information wouldn't have changed the facts supporting his arrest.
