An aiding and abetting DWI charge against Paolo Banchero was dropped Thursday after his former Duke teammate Michael Savarino pleaded guilty to a DWI earlier in the week, the Raleigh News & Observer’s Stephen Wiseman reports.
The decision is “standard procedure” once Savarino chose to cooperate with the case and agreed to a plea deal.
Savarino, grandson of former Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski, and Banchero were arrested in November when Savarino ran a stop sign and was suspected of driving while intoxicated under the age of 21 with Banchero in the back seat.
