Apology letter among the conditions for Michael Jordan’s son to close DUI case

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Michael Jordan's son, Marcus Jordan, cut a deal with prosecutors on Sept. 12 with the goal of having his criminal charges dismissed.

As per the documents, Jordan must meet multiple conditions over the next 12 months for his charges to be dismissed. These conditions include random drug testing, a $1,000 donation, 50 hours of community service, and an interlock device on his car.

Moreover, he must write a 250-word apology letter to his arresting officer. While getting arrested was going to be controversial enough, Jordan also faced much criticism on social media. Shortly after his arrest, body cam footage of the incident was posted on social media, where it went viral.

The footage showed Marcus Jordan repeatedly telling his arresting officer that he was Michael Jordan's son, as he looked to escape the situation. This led to widespread criticism of him on various social media platforms.
