Grandson of legendary Coach K charged with DWI after 15-year-old boy dies in fatal crash

The 26-year-old grandson of famed former Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski faces a misdemeanor charge of driving while impaired after a collision Saturday night in Durham, North Carolina, that took the life of a 15-year-old boy.

The incident happened just before 9 p.m., when Joseph Savarino, who was driving a northbound Ford Explorer, hit the teen who was riding an e-bike in the same direction. The boy, identified by family as Jack O’Shea, was pronounced dead at the scene.

No other injuries were reported and police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the accident.

Details emerge: Coach’s grandson’s DWI crash takes life of Cardinal Gibbons freshman

According to court records, Savarino admitted to drinking alcohol that evening. A breathalyzer test conducted shortly after midnight recorded a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.11 percent – ​​more than North Carolina’s legal limit of 0.08 percent.

He was charged with DWI over the weekend and made his first court appearance on Monday, where a judge suspended his driver’s license and set his bond at $100,000. Savarino made bail later that day and is now out of custody awaiting his next court date. This will happen in about a month.

O’Shea’s family shared an emotional tribute on social media, describing the Cardinal Gibbons High School freshman as a “well-rounded, smart, athletic, fearless and beautiful baby boy” who enjoyed his final day — attending Confession in the morning and biking with friends in the afternoon.

His mother said the family was finding some solace in the memories of that day as they grappled with unimaginable grief. The tragedy shocked the local community, where O’Shea was known as a talented athlete on his school’s baseball and basketball teams.

The case has attracted attention because of Savarino’s prominent family ties to the Duke basketball program. Coach K, who has led the Blue Devils to five national championships over several decades, has not issued any public statement on the matter as of Monday.

This is the second time a grandson in the family has faced DWI-related problems in recent years.

Former Michigan coach Sharon Moore avoids jail after shocking crash after shooting

Former Michigan football coach Sharon Moore was sentenced to probation Tuesday after pleading no contest to two misdemeanor counts — trespassing and malicious use of telecommunications equipment in a domestic relationship.

The charges stemmed from a confrontation at the apartment of a female employee with whom he had an inappropriate relationship.

Prosecutors dropped more serious felony charges, including home invasion and stalking, as part of a plea agreement. Moore, 40, must pay a fine of just over $1,000, continue counseling, abstain from drugs and alcohol, surrender any firearms and have no contact with the victim.

The judge warned Moore that if he overstepped his bounds again, he would not be as lenient.

District Court Judge Cedric Simpson said in sentencing, “When I look at the totality of this situation I do not believe that imprisonment should be appropriate.” “I warn you, Mr. Moore, if there is a violation, all bets are off. I don’t like sending people to jail, but I have no problem doing it.”

Judge saves Sharon Moore from jail sentence, praises wife he cheated on while punishing coach for spreading pain to victim

The case dates back to Dec. 10 — the same day Michigan fired Moore after he admitted to having an extramarital affair with his executive assistant.

The situation became worse after his dismissal. Moore was charged with serious criminal charges for allegedly vandalizing his mistress’s home. According to the victim, Paige Shivers – his former executive assistant and personal assistant – Moore burst into her apartment uninvited while crying, yelling and angry. He grabbed a butter knife, threatened to harm himself and attacked her with the knife, leaving her in fear for her life.

The two had been in a relationship for about two years, a fact Koch acknowledged in discussion with police on the night of the encounter. This, along with many other details, came to light following sworn testimony by a detective at a complaints authority hearing.

The judge continued to punish Moore for his actions.

“Frankly, Mr. Moore, you had no right to do what you did,” Simpson said. “I know she was in fear. It was a traumatic experience for you – it was certainly a traumatic experience for her – but you had no right to extend your pain to her.”

Shiver, who did not attend the hearing, issued a statement saying the sentence “does not reflect the harm I have suffered” and accused the university of failing to protect her from years of manipulation and harassment.

The judge praised Moore’s wife for her support and said it influenced the lenient sentence.

Simpson said, “The person who is protecting you from the full wrath of this court is the person you betrayed.” “When all the situations are happening to her, and she’s absorbing them in real time, she never once loses her focus, never once glances at you to be suspicious, never once wants anything terrible to happen to you.”

He then told Moore’s wife: “If there were more people like you in the world, I’d probably be out of a job, but the world would be a better place.”

I’m not sure how helping someone avoid accountability for terrorizing their mistress translates into a better world.

Tiger Woods formally charged with DUI after Florida rollover crash, faces possible jail time

Golf great Tiger Woods was officially charged with two misdemeanors this week — driving under the influence with property damage and refusing to submit to a chemical or physical test following his single-vehicle rollover crash late last month.

According to the arrest affidavit, Woods attempted to pass a truck by crossing the double line and speeding, striking the vehicle and flipping his Range Rover onto its side. No one was seriously injured in the incident.

“I looked down at my phone … and all of a sudden – acceleration,” Woods said in the bodycam footage.

He also called President Trump after the crash and just before failing some field sobriety tests, seemingly trying to dissuade authorities from turning him in.

Officers at the scene observed “severe signs of impairment”, including bloodshot eyes, extremely dilated pupils, excessive sweating and an unsteady gait. A breathalyzer test found no alcohol, but Woods refused blood or urine tests to check for other substances. Officers later found two hydrocodone pills in his pocket.

Woods was arrested that afternoon on suspicion of DUI with property damage, booked and released on bond a few hours later. He has since entered a not guilty plea and requested a jury trial.

The 15-time major champion has retained criminal defense attorney Douglas Duncan, the same attorney who represented him in a 2017 DUI case in Florida that ended with a guilty plea to reckless driving.

Four days after the accident, Woods released a statement announcing that he would step away from golf for treatment and focus on his health. “I know and understand the seriousness of the situation in which I find myself today,” he wrote.

“I am taking some time away to receive treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.”

Court documents indicate Woods has already been cleared to travel abroad for treatment. The charge comes at a critical moment for the golfer, who has battled multiple back surgeries and other injuries in recent years and was preparing for a limited 2026 schedule that included the Masters. He will not compete at Augusta National this year.

The formal arraignment on April 7 marks the latest chapter in a case that has faced intense public scrutiny.

A court date has not yet been set. Any misdemeanor conviction carries the potential for a prison sentence as the statutory maximum penalty. However, this seems unlikely.

If convicted, the misdemeanor charge can carry a fine, probation and possible license suspension, although the penalty will depend on the outcome of any plea negotiations or trial.

Ultimately, Wolfsburg won the race for his signature, with Eriksen joining on a two-year deal until June 2027. Since then he has been a regular starter with 21 appearances in all competitions.

However, it has been a tough campaign for him. The German club currently sits 15th With 20 points in 23 games in the Bundesliga. This leaves them just above the relegation play-off places on goal difference.

Their recent form has seen them struggle to move out of the relegation battle. But Eriksen is not worried, despite their aim being to qualify for Europe.

“Actually I’ve mostly been on the other side,” He said.

“At many of the clubs I have played for, it was more important to finish in the top 10. Brentford was probably the only exception.

“And in the VFL, it’s actually my first time fighting demotion. But that’s football; in the end, it’s an experience that comes with the territory.

“I can handle it! Of course, you’d love to be on a winning team. But that doesn’t always work out. Then it’s about getting back on track.

“For us, it’s a battle right now, and there are a lot of little things going against us, which makes it even more difficult. Still, I’m positive when I see how we’re doing.”

Asked whether he had made the right decision by choosing Wolfsburg over Manchester United, Eriksen said: “Yeah, soccer is fun. I wanted to play soccer, and that’s what I’m doing here.”

LaMelo Ball involved in Charlotte car crash on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball was recently involved in a car accident in Uptown. Video released shows Ball’s Hummer colliding with a car as the two were passing through an intersection. The car the ball hit stopped immediately, the driver got out, and went to the Hornets guard to see if he was OK.

It is not certain who was at fault for the accident, but it seems that both parties are safe.

Witnesses told local news that the sedan was heading east on Trade Street, while Ball was heading west. He tried to go left on the one-way road, which is why the collision occurred. Eyewitnesses also claimed that when Ball got out of the Hummer, he got into a Lamorgini. Both the Hummer and the sedan were towed.

Ball has received criticism for his driving over the years. Several videos have been posted of him exiting the Spectrum Center and driving away at speed.

The Hornets are set to play the Houston Rockets at home on Thursday, and so far, it doesn’t look like Ball will suffer any injuries as a result of the accident.

Over the past few weeks, the Hornets have been one of the hottest teams in the league and have climbed up the Eastern Conference standings after once missing out on the play-ins. They are now seeded ninth, and have plenty of time to make a move up the standings if they continue to play like this.
