Judge Denies Bond in Fatal Hit-Run | Savannah News

A Chatham County judge denied bond for Robert Herfurt, the man accused of fatally hitting and killing cyclist Andres Sierra at 75 mph in a 35 mph zone — a crash fueled by alcohol, as his BAC was over double the legal limit. Witnesses saw him drinking before the crash, and he initially lied about drinking, then refused sobriety tests. His defense sought treatment, but the state pushed back, citing his prior DUI, extreme speed, and failure to stop or help. The judge ruled he’s a danger to the community and ordered him to remain jailed — though treatment may still be available while detained. The victim’s family is raising funds to bring his body home.
