According to TMZ report, the 34-year-old attempted to flee from a traffic stop in a blue Lamborghini SUV before being spotted on nearby train tracks. When officers approached, they found Jordan trying to free the vehicle by spinning its wheels.

After finally stepping out of the vehicle, Jordan reportedly resisted a search, even jamming his leg in the police car’s door to prevent it from closing.
During the search, officers discovered a small bag in his pocket containing a white powdery substance, which later tested positive for cocaine using a field drug wipe.
Jordan was taken to the Orange County DUI Center, where he reportedly sang in a slurred voice while being transported. He was briefly held at the Orange County Jail before being released on bail.
