Overview
- Moore appeared in a Washtenaw County courtroom for a brief status hearing, where the probable-cause conference was adjourned to allow more discovery.
- Defense attorney Ellen Michaels filed a motion to quash the arrest warrant and dismiss the complaint, asserting the warrant was based on false or misleading statements; prosecutors must respond by Feb. 2.
- A hearing on the defense motion is set for Feb. 17, and the next probable-cause conference is scheduled for March 19.
- Moore faces charges of third-degree home invasion, stalking, and entering without permission; he has pleaded not guilty and remains free on a $25,000 bond with a GPS tether, mental-health treatment, and a no-contact order.
- Michigan fired Moore on Dec. 10 after an internal probe found an inappropriate relationship and untruthful statements; authorities say he entered the staffer’s apartment that day, grabbed butter knives and scissors, and threatened self-harm, allegedly saying, “My blood is on your hands.”
