Ex-UM athlete charged in bail violation

Orono police arrested former University of Maine baseball player Ryan Quintal early Friday morning, charging him with violating bail conditions.

The 22-year-old Quintal struggled with police when they arrested him, and he also was charged with refusing to submit to arrest, according to police.

Quintal was prohibited from drinking or possessing alcohol as part of bail conditions stemming from a May arrest on a drunken driving charge and a subsequent bail violation arrest, Sgt. Scott Scripture of the Orono Police Department said Friday.

Quintal was seen drinking early Friday morning, but ran from police into an apartment at Orchard Trails. Officer Jason Zalva and Scripture were allowed into the apartment where Quintal was in the bathroom, refusing to come out.

The police got the door open and Quintal out, but he continued to be belligerent, banging his head on the cruiser, Scripture said.
