Police body camera footage has surfaced from former University of Michigan head football coach Sherrone Moore's arrest.
In the footage, obtained by TMZ Moore can be heard crying after being approached by police in a parking lot.
Moore was fired for cause by the university in December, with administrators saying he had engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staffer.
That same day, Moore was arrested after authorities claimed he drove to the staffer's home and threatened self-harm.
On March 6, the former head coach pleaded no contest to malicious use of a telecommunications device and trespassing as part of a plea deal that saw more serious charges dismissed. He will be sentenced in April.
The video reported by TMZ shows Moore ask police officers to call his wife, Kelli, as he's placed in handcuffs.

"I don't wanna hurt myself, man," Moore can be heard saying. "I got a beautiful family, kids."
Following Moore's plea deal, Paige Shiver identified herself as the staffer in a statement, accusing the coach of subjecting her to years of “manipulation, harassment, and exploitation."
Moore, who is married with three children, was hired as Michigan's head coach in 2024 following the departure of his predecessor, Jim Harbaugh.
Prior to becoming head coach, Moore served as Michigan's offensive coordinator.
