New details emerged this week in the scandal surrounding embattled former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore, including allegations that he “had a long history of domestic violence” against the staffer with whom he allegedly had an inappropriate, years-long relationship.
Court documents obtained by Pakinomist Digital revealed allegations made by the employee’s attorney, Heidi Sharp, on the day Moore allegedly entered her home without permission, which later resulted in his arrest.

The. Jessica Welker of the Pittsfield Township Police Department testified in court that staff called Sharp after Moore entered the residence and refused to leave. Sharp then told 911 that Moore was inside her client’s home and “attacked her.”

While speaking with officers after they arrived at the scene, Welker testified that Sharp claimed that Moore “had a long history of domestic violence against” the employee with whom he was involved and claimed that “he was very dangerous.”
According to Welker’s testimony, employees explained that after she and her attorney went to the university to file a report, she returned home to gather her belongings with the intention “to leave town.” That’s when she claims Moore entered the residence without her permission. Describing his emotional state, she claimed he “grabbed two knives from her drawer and pointed them at her and said, ‘You ruined my life. You ruined my life’.”
The woman accused Moore of continuing to approach her until she was able to get her attorney on the phone, whereupon he “immediately backed up and turned the knives on himself, pointed them at his throat and said he was going to kill himself and she was going to watch.”

Moore then left the staff residence and was later taken into custody by law enforcement, where he denied physically assaulting the staff.
Moore appeared in a Washtenaw County court on Friday, where his bond was set at $25,000 and included several conditions, including no contact with the alleged victim in the case. A plea of not guilty was entered for him.
The prosecutor detailed the alleged events that led to Moore’s arrestincluding that Moore had entered into an “intimate relationship” with the Michigan employee for “a number of years” and that the woman broke up with him two days before his arrest.

Prosecutors accused Moore of contacting staff via phone calls and text messages after the break-in, prompting the victim to contact the University of Michigan and cooperate in the investigation. Moore was subsequently fired from his position as a football coach, which prosecutors said prompted him to show up at the woman’s home.
Moore then allegedly “barged” his way into the residence, grabbed a butter knife and a pair of scissors and then began threatening his own life. According to prosecutors, Moore allegedly told staff, “my blood is on your hands” and “you ruined my life.”
Welker’s testimony supported these claims.
