Attorney calls 911, says Moore was inside client’s home
Dispatch said that the woman’s attorney called 911 and reported that her client had called her and said Moore “was inside of her home, attacking her.”
The attorney also told dispatch that Moore had been stalking the woman for months.
When officers arrived at the apartment, the attorney told them that “Moore had a long history of domestic violence” against the woman.
Officers then learned that Moore had fled the scene before they arrived.

“He’s here. Sherrone is here,” the woman told her attorney on the phone.

Moore barges into woman’s apartment with tears in his eyes
The woman told police that she and her attorney had left the university after filing a report.
She was planning to leave town after filing that report, so she went to her apartment to get her belongings.
When she was carrying her items down the stairs, the woman heard footsteps outside, according to the document.
She told police she ran to lock the door, but “before she could, Mr. Moore swung the door open and barged into her apartment with tears in his eyes.”
When he entered the apartment, the woman was about five feet from the door.

‘You ruined my life’: Moore grabs knives, threatens to kill himself
She told police that she started to back up, and the former head coach walked toward her.
“Moore grabbed two knives out of her drawer and pointed them at her, saying, ‘You ruined my life. You ruined my life,’” according to the swear-to.
She told him to leave as he “continued toward her with the knives, backing her toward the living room.”
Once the woman got her attorney onto the phone, Moore allegedly backed up and turned the knives at himself, “pointing them at his neck, saying he was going to kill himself and that she was going to watch.”
Moore didn’t have keys to home or permission to be there, woman says
At this point, the woman told police that Moore was near the front door of her apartment.
Moore then left the apartment, leaving the two butter knives he had taken from her drawer on the counter, and the woman locked her door.
She told police that Moore didn’t live at her apartment or have keys to it, and didn’t have permission to be there.
Dozens of calls, texts
The attorney provided police with text messages that Moore allegedly sent the woman just after the 911 call was made.
At 4:12 p.m., Moore sent her a text that said, “I hate you. My blood is on your hand.”
The woman told police that she and Moore had been involved in an intimate relationship, but she “tried to end communication” with him on Monday, Dec. 8, 2025.
That morning, at about 6 a.m., the woman told Moore “she had nothing more to say to him,” according to the document.
After that, Moore allegedly called her a dozen times and sent her several text messages.
Before Moore showed up at the woman’s apartment, he called her twice.
The woman “indicated to officers the night of the incident that she has never been more terrified in her life.”
Shortly after this unfolded, Moore was arrested.
