[Chris DiMaio]

Former Michigan football coach Sharon Moore is charged with breaking into the apartment of his ex mistress and threatening to take his own life.

[Unnamed Prosecutor or Reporter]

Prosecutors laid out a lot of details of how we got here, starting with the coach's affair with his executive assistant. Just a few months ago when the university was investigating rumors of the affair, the 32 year old assistant denied there was anything going on. But apparently something changed in the relationship because early Monday morning prosecutors say she broke things off. And then on Wednesday she went to school officials with all of the evidence of their relationship and he was almost immediately fired. It appears Moore had some kind of a breakdown. His wife called 911 saying he was suicidal. And prosecutors say Moore went to his former mistress's apartment, broke in, grabbed some butter knives and kitchen scissors and threatened to kill himself.
