Michael Jordan's son, Marcus, has reportedly reached an agreement with prosecutors to close his DUI case.
As part of the agreement, Jordan must write a 250-word groveling apology letter to one of the police officers who arrested him.
According to TMZ, Jordan must also meet a series of other requirements over the next 12 months if prosecutors are to drop all charges.
The 34-year-old must also submit to random drug testing, make a $1,000 donation, get an interlock device fitted to his car and undergo 50 hours of community service.
Jordan was arrested for DUI and cocaine possession back in February after he drunkenly got his Lamborghini struck on a train track in Florida.
The Maitland police department said officers noticed Marcus' headlights on a railroad. When they approached the luxury SUV, they noticed bumper damage and kicked-up rocks, which suggested Marcus had been trying to flee but could not.

Police suspected Marcus had just fled a nearby traffic stop, though Marcus allegedly claimed he had taken a wrong turn and needed help getting his car off the tracks.
Officers noted a strong smell of alcohol, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes.
Marcus allegedly admitted to having been at a gentleman's club and drinking alcohol before his arrest. But he reportedly insisted his BAC was lower than the legal limit of 0.8.
However, police said he failed three sobriety tests before he was placed under arrest.
Officers wrote in their report they found a white powdery substance in Marcus' pocket that tested positive for cocaine.
Marcus was combative as officers tried to put him in their squad car, per the police report, but 'was singing the entire way' to the jail.
In July, Marcus revealed he had been sober for 100 days. He was then reunited with his iconic father while competing in a prestigious deep-sea fishing tournament.
He reportedly became estranged from his father amid his own long-term romantic relationship with Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of Michael's legendary Bulls teammate, Scottie Pippen.

Larsa is said to have dumped Jordan early last year after his wayward behavior became too much for her to handle.
She opened up about the breakup in an interview last year where she gave a diplomatic explanation as to why she decided to close the door on the relationship.
Speaking on the Amy & TJ podcast on iheartRadio in March, Pippen said she realized Marcus wasn't her 'guy' after she spent time away from him, giving her clarity on their relationship.
The former couple started dating back in 2022 and made headlines for both their 17-year age gap and because of their Chicago Bulls connection.
