PORTLAND – A former Mr. Maine Basketball who now plays for Maryland has been free on bail following his arrest last weekend on a disorderly conduct charge arising from a disturbance in Portland’s Old Port district.

According to a police report, Nik Caner-Medley, 20, was arrested Friday night after a confrontation involving a group of people.

“Caner-Medley was there, yelling,” said Lt. Vern Malloch, reading from the report. “He took his shirt off and threatened to assault [the complainant]. [Caner-Medley’s] friends were trying to restrain him. He was intoxicated and made a statement, “I’m from Maryland, and nobody can beat me.’

“Several other people stopped and said (Caner-Medley) was out of control, but none of those people wanted to give statements.”

Caner-Medley will not face underage drinking charges because he cannot be placed in a bar and did not admit to drinking, police said.

Windham High School coach Kevin Millington, who coached Caner-Medley in AAU basketball and was with him Friday night, said the Maryland forward was approached by some people.

“They got a little mouthy with him and he got mouthy back,” Millington said. “The feeling I got was the cops had everything under control.”

Caner-Medley was transported to the Cumberland County Jail, where he was released an hour later on $1,000 unsecured bail. His bail conditions state that he cannot possess alcohol or illegal drugs and is not allowed to return to the Old Port.
