Newly released dashcam footage provides more details about what went on before Marcus Jordan’s arrest in Central Florida, early Tuesday morning.

The footage shows officers from the Maitland Police Department approaching Jordan’s Lamborghini SUV that is stuck in gravel at a railroad crossing at around 1 a.m.

“You know the train’s coming by right now, right?” the cops says, pointing his flashlight into the blue car. A brunette woman is in the passenger seat.

The next part of the clip sees Jordan now out of the vehicle, explaining how he got into this predicament.

“We thought we were making a right and I [bleeping] turned onto the train tracks, apparently,” the 34-year-old son of NBA legend Michael Jordan says with a grin.

“We’re not getting back into the car right now,” a cop informs Jordan, who is ordered to keep his hands out of his pockets.

As another officer searches his pants, the sneaker entrepreneur tells them who he is.

 

“I’m Marcus Jordan. I’m Michael Jordan’s son,” the Chicago native announces. “I’m not doing anything wrong! I’m just trying to get home and I made a wrong turn. OK? Clearly, we would like to get our car off of the [bleeping] train tracks.”

As his companion giggles. Jordan continues to try to get roadside assistance from the cops, whose colleagues had been pursuing his SUV which had been traveling at a high rate of speed just moments earlier.

“I can smell alcohol coming from you,” a cop says. “That’s why I don’t want you back behind the wheel...I hear slurred speech from you.”

“I’m not slurring anything,” answers Jordan, who used to date “Real Housewives of Miami” star Larsa Pippen. “I appreciate your concerns. But I’m not inebriated and I’m not anything that cannot drive home.”

As per the police report, the UCF grad — who had “bloodshot and glassy eyes” — admitted to having “some” drinks while out clubbing in the area at such venues as Rachel’s Gentleman’s Club in Casselberry, near Orlando. He went on to fail three field sobriety tests and a powdery substance found in his pockets tested positive for cocaine.

Jordan was arrested on three charges, including DUI crash with property damage, possession of cocaine and resisting an officer without violence. He was booked briefly into the Orange County Jail on $4,000 bail.
