Mel Tucker, ex-MSU football coach, accused of moving money in divorce


The wife of former Michigan State University head football coach Mel Tucker has filed for divorce and alleges in a request for a restraining order that he has pulled money without notice from their joint funds, including $1.5 million to pay his legal expenses.

Jo Ellyn and Mel Tucker were granted a mutual restraining order preventing “the dissipation of marital assets” on Thursday by an Ingham County, Michigan, judge, court records show. Her divorce complaint was filed with the court three weeks earlier, on April 5.

In her petition for the restraining order, Jo Ellyn Tucker indicated she sought the order because, just before she initiated the divorce action, Mel Tucker withdrew all the money from his two retirement accounts, including his Michigan State account. She said he transferred them to an individual account to which she did not have access.
