Saint John's Jesuit basketball coach Ed Heintschel, who celebrated his 600th career win last month, is facing a drunken driving charge.

Heintschel was pulled over at the end of November for not using his turn signal and almost hitting another vehicle. He registered 0.14 blood alcohol content.

A pretrial in the case is scheduled for Tuesday. According to St. John's principal Brad Bonham, Heintschel has been a valued member of the faculty for over 30 years, serving as a teacher, counselor, and basketball coach. 

Bonham says the school is standing behind Heintschel.
