Former running back Montee Ball, who is facing charges for two separate domestic violence accusations made by two different women, is now accused of violating his bail.
Wisconsin television station WKOW reports that Ball was taken into custody at 9:25 Saturday night in Whitewater, Wisconsin, on a felony bail jumping violation.
According to the report, police were called and informed that Ball was in a bar drinking alcohol despite having bond conditions not to consume alcohol and not to be in a bar. Although Ball was not at the bar when police arrived, they were able to track him down, and he had an odor of alcohol on his breath. Ball refused blood-alcohol tests, but police obtained a search warrant to draw his blood.
Ball’s next scheduled court appearance is Tuesday afternoon.
The 25-year-old Ball was a 2013 second-round pick out of Wisconsin, where he set an NCAA record for career touchdowns. He played two seasons in Denver and then briefly spent time on the Patriots’ practice squad.
