Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore reached a plea agreement Friday that significantly reduces the charges he was facing in a December incident.
Moore pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor counts after striking a deal with prosecutors in Washtenaw County court. The new charges include malicious use of an electronic communication device in the context of a domestic relationship and trespassing.
Moore was initially charged with felony home invasion, along with misdemeanor illegal entry without the owner’s permission and stalking. The felony charge alone carried a potential sentence of up to five years in prison. However, the plea agreement removes those more serious accusations.
Under the revised charges, the penalties are far lighter. The malicious use of an electronic communication device charge carries a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine. The trespassing charge carries up to 30 days in jail and a possible $250 fine.
Prosecutors said the updated charges are the “most appropriate” based on their review of the circumstances surrounding the December 10, 2025, incident. Officials explained that the decision came after examining additional evidence and consulting with representatives of the alleged victim.
They also stated there was not enough evidence to pursue any domestic violence charges. According to prosecutors, that determination was the same at the time the initial charges were filed and remains unchanged.
Moore briefly addressed the judge during the hearing and confirmed he understood that his no-contest plea means the case will not proceed to trial.
His wife, Kelli Moore, attended the hearing and arrived at the courthouse with him earlier in the day.
Moore is scheduled to be sentenced on April 14.
