Shelby County sheriff's deputies responded to calls early Sunday about a driver swerving on Interstate 64 in Shelbyville. An arrest report says Klenakis' SUV nearly hit a barrier wall multiple times, including in a construction zone with active workers.
The report says deputies pulled the fifth-year assistant from his SUV and attempted to conduct a sobriety test when Klenakis walked onto the road and was nearly hit by a truck. His blood-alcohol level measured 0.165, more than twice the legal level.
The 54-year-old Klenakis also was charged with reckless driving, wanton endangerment and possession of open containers. A working phone number for him could not be located.
Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said in a statement Monday that the program has high standards for coaches and that, "We must adhere to those standards on a daily basis."
