    MAITLAND, Fla. – Marcus Jordan, the son of basketball icon Michael Jordan, now faces a charge of ketamine possession instead of cocaine possession. This charge is a result of his recent arrest in Maitland for driving under the influence, as per new documents from the Orange-Osceola state attorney.

    The incident occurred on Feb. 4 when Maitland police discovered Jordan’s Lamborghini stranded on train tracks, leading to his arrest, as detailed in an arrest report.

    Upon searching Jordan, the police found a clear plastic bag containing a white powdery substance. Although this substance initially tested positive for cocaine, subsequent reports indicate it was actually ketamine, according to an arrest affidavit.

    However, State Attorney Monique Worrell’s office on Feb. 19 filed new information with the circuit court, changing his charge from cocaine possession to ketamine possession. He is also facing charges of resisting an officer without violence and driving under the influence of alcohol.

    News 6 is working to find out why the possession charge was changed. Ketamine is a Schedule III substance under Florida law, which can result in lower penalties than cocaine possession.

    Maitland police were in the area of Greenwood Road near Mechanic Street, just off Maitland Boulevard on Feb. 4 when they spotted a vehicle parked on the railroad tracks.

    When police approached the blue Lamborghini SUV, they noticed the tires were halfway buried in the gravel on the tracks.

    According to an arrest affidavit, the SUV had recently fled from a traffic stop initiated by the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office. Officers were informed about the fleeing vehicle just minutes before they spotted the SUV on the railroad tracks.

    When officers spoke to the driver, Jordan, they said they could smell alcohol coming from the vehicle, the affidavit states.

    After a field sobriety test, Jordan was placed under arrest for driving under the influence. As police escorted Jordan to the patrol car, they said he pulled against an officer to avoid walking and refused to comply with instructions when he was searched.

    Jordan was booked into the Orange County Jail and released later that morning.

    Originally from Chicago, Jordan played basketball at the University of Central Florida from 2009 to 2012 and currently resides in Orlando.
