BOSTON – A college student arrested before the Red Sox parade was on probation for allegedly vandalizing cars after the New England Patriots Super Bowl victory, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Boston University student Daniel Rosquete, 21, of Auburn, Maine, was arrested early Saturday after he allegedly refused to leave a restricted area near Fenway Park before the parade to celebrate the team’s World Series victory.
Rosquete was a student at Northeastern University when he allegedly helped turn over two cars and vandalize a third car during post-Super Bowl celebrations in February. Several students were expelled because of their conduct after the Super Bowl, but a Northeastern spokeswoman would not say whether Rosquete was one of them.
Rosquete’s earlier charges would have been dropped in April 2006 if he stayed out of trouble until then, Suffolk County prosecutors said. But the charges may be reinstated after Rosquete was arrested at 3:15 a.m. Saturday, when he allegedly parked his car in a restricted area and tried to brush past police. He was wearing a Red Sox jersey and “eye black,” a substance athletes wear under the eyes to fight the sun’s glare.
Rosquete pleaded innocent Monday to charges of disorderly conduct, disturbing the peace and resisting arrest. He was held on a probation detainer pending a hearing Wednesday, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley’s office.
Rosquete’s attorney, John Miller, declined to comment. There is no phone listing in the Boston directory for Rosquete.
Rosquete was one of 15 people arrested in connection with the parade.
B.U. spokesman Colin Riley would not discuss Rosquete’s case, but said the school is a good neighbor to the city.
“We have long and consistent record of holding our students responsible for any illegal actions or misconduct on or off campus,” Riley said. “Sanctions include up to expulsion. By and large our students behave very well.”
