Fired Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore reaches plea deal to resolve home
invasion case

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) --- Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore pleaded
no contest Friday to two misdemeanors in a criminal case that arose immediately
after he was fired for having an inappropriate relationship with his executive
assistant.
The deal was struck on the same day that a judge planned to hear a challenge to
Moore's arrest in December on three charges, including felony home invasion.
Those charges were dropped in exchange for Moore pleading no contest to
trespassing and malicious use of a telecom device.
In dismissing Moore, the university cited an inappropriate relationship with a
staff member. Assistant prosecutor Katie Rezmierski said the woman ended the
affair a few days before Moore's firing and cooperated with the school's
investigation.
Shortly after losing his job, Moore confronted the woman and blamed her for his
dismissal, even threatening to kill himself with butter knives in her
apartment, authorities said.
