We just wrote a story about Michael Jordan’s real high school basketball coach (Michael Jordan Getting Cut From His High School Basketball Team a Myth?).
Now a dead body found at his home?
Spooky.
The body of a 24-year-old woman was found this week in a shallow grave in the side yard, and the authorities say she was a homicide victim. As of Saturday morning the police in Wilmington, N.C., had yet to release her name, but they’d arrested a man named Andrew Bernard Adams and charged him with first-degree murder.
The case became national news on Friday night, after the local media reported that Michael Jordan’s high school coach, Clifton (Pop) Herring, lived at the house where the body was found. Herring, profiled in this week’s issue of Sports Illustrated, himself had been arrested Thursday night, charged with resisting a public officer, and on Saturday morning he remained in jail in lieu of $300 bail. A police spokesman said Herring’s arrest appeared to have little or no connection with the body’s discovery.
