New details surrounding Marcus Jordan’s arrest for DUI, cocaine possession and resisting arrest have emerged, including how a Lamborghini SUV belonging to the 34-year-old son of NBA icon Michael Jordan was stuck on railroad tracks.

Jordan is said to have told authorities “he had taken a wrong turn and needed help getting his car off the tracks,” TMZ reported Tuesday, which noted the situation transpired after 1 a.m. in Maitland, Fla.

Upon closer inspection of Jordan’s vehicle, police noticed bumper damage and rocks that had been kicked up, signaling “he had been trying to get away from the area, but couldn’t,” per the report.

When conversing with Jordan — who has made headlines for his past romance with Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of the same Scottie Pippen who played alongside Michael Jordan during the Bulls’ championship teams of the 1990s — authorities observed glassy and bloodshot eyes compounded with slurred speech.

Officers added “a strong odor of alcohol” was sensed during Jordan’s questioning, per the report.

The “Real Housewives of Miami” alum allegedly frequented a gentleman’s club that night and had alcoholic beverages, but maintained his BAC (blood alcohol content) was below the .08 legal limit, according to police.

When police were able to get him out of the vehicle — as he had been instructed to do — Jordan performed poorly in sobriety tests resulting in his DUI arrest. A white powdery substance was also discovered by police during a search of his pants that tested positive for cocaine.

Jordan, who was described as “combative” when being put in a police car, was later booked for DUI crash with property damage, resisting an officer without violence and possession of cocaine.

The Bravo personality is said to have sang “the entire way” to a local Orange County jail, where he “allegedly refused to provide breath samples.”

His bond has been set for $4,000, Page Six reported Tuesday.

The second of Michael Jordan’s five children, Jordan was first linked to Pippen, 50, in September 2022.

During the course of their relationship, Jordan made appearances on the “Real Housewives of Miami,” which currently features Pippen.

They split up last spring.

TMZ reported Wednesday Jordan is still in custody.
