“I’m worried about my husband getting hurt. Can you track his phone?” she said.
The operator asks, “Why do you think he’s trying to hurt himself?”
“Because he told me that. He said he’s trying to commit suicide,” she alleged.
The wife then explained that Moore had just been fired from Michigan.
“He just called me to tell me he was fired from his job and he’s in crisis. I told him I love him and I need him to come home, but I don’t know where he is. He said he was on a highway,” she said.
She later added: “He works at the University of Michigan… her name is Sherrone Moore…
“I just need to make sure he’s safe. They called him a couple of times and I’m afraid he’s going to do something to himself. I told him to come home.”
Moore was arrested on several charges last month. He faces a felony charge of breaking and entering in the third degree and two misdemeanor counts of stalking and breaking and entering without the owner’s permission. He was released on bail and is due back in court on January 22. He pleaded not guilty on his behalf.
FIRED MICHIGAN COACH SHERRONE MOORE WAS ‘STRESSED’ AS RUMORS SWIRL ABOUT THE ISSUE: ‘IT WAS TOO OBVIOUS’

Moore was accused of having a “long history of domestic violence” with the employee with whom he allegedly had an inappropriate relationship that lasted for years.
Court documents obtained by Pak Gazette Digital revealed allegations made by the employee’s attorney, Heidi Sharp, on the day Moore allegedly entered the employee’s home without permission, which later resulted in his arrest.
Prosecutors detailed the alleged events leading up to Moore’s arrest, including that Moore had had an “intimate relationship” with the Michigan employee for “several years” and that the woman had broken up with him two days before his arrest.
Prosecutors accused Moore of contacting the employee through phone calls and text messages after the breakup, prompting the victim to contact the University of Michigan and cooperate in an investigation. Moore was later fired from his position as a football coach, which prosecutors say prompted him to show up at the woman’s home.
Moore then allegedly “broke 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 the employee, “My blood is on your hands” and “You ruined my life.”
If convicted, Moore faces more than half a decade behind bars, which would further damage any hope he may have of ever getting back on the sidelines.
