Authorities say the 26-year-old admitted drinking and had a 0.11% blood alcohol content after the crash.
- Joseph Savarino, 26, grandson of retired Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, faces a misdemeanor DWI charge after his vehicle struck a 15-year-old bicyclist Saturday night in Durham, police said.
- The collision occurred just before 9 p.m. Saturday near Cole Mill Road and Wyndham Lane; breathalyzer tests measured Savarino's blood alcohol concentration at 0.11%, exceeding the 0.08% legal limit.
- During his initial court appearance on Monday, a judge revoked Savarino's driver's license and ordered him held on a $100,000 secured bond.
- Debbie Savarino, an assistant athletic director at Duke and Joseph's mother, posted the secured bond; his attorney, Butch Williams, did not immediately respond to inquiries.
- Legal proceedings for the misdemeanor charge remain ongoing as Savarino awaits his next scheduled court appearance on May 20.
