Jordan accuser to stay in jail

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MEADVILLE, Pa. — A northwestern Pennsylvania woman who claims Michael Jordan fathered her son is still in jail because a judge says she hasn’t promised not to bother the former NBA star.

A Crawford County judge barred 35-year-old Lisa Miceli of Meadville from contacting Jordan, his family or his representatives. But the judge who jailed Miceli last week, says a letter she wrote promising to comply wasn’t good enough.

In an order Thursday, the judge says Miceli will serve all of her two- to six-month contempt sentence unless she writes another letter “that states without question” she will follow the court order.

Jordan sued Miceli this year to enforce a 2005 agreement to stop contacting him after two DNA tests showed he wasn’t the boy’s father.
