A lawyer who was acquitted of two rape charges after being named one of People magazine's "Most Eligible Bachelors" was arrested Wednesday and charged with hitting a police officer who confronted him for urinating in public.Gary Zerola, 36, was arrested near Faneuil Hall about 1:45 a.m., as fans celebrated the Celtics' victory in the NBA Finals.
Zerola unbuttoned his pants and turned toward the corner of a building, according to a police report filed by Sgt. David O'Connor.
When O’Connor confronted Zerola and ordered him to stop, Zerola struck O'Connor on the shoulder and fled before being tackled by officers a few blocks away, of my life that ended with a thud."
Zerola denied the charges and was released on personal recognizance.
His arrest comes days after prosecutors in Florida dropped charges that he raped an 18-year-old woman at a Miami Beach hotel.
Zerola also was acquitted earlier this year of rape and attempted rape in cases involving two other women in the Boston area.
