FYI -- Ball was out on bail stemming from a previous domestic violence arrest ... and one of the terms of his bail was to refrain from drinking alcohol.
So, when cops arrived to the 841 Brewhouse bar on Saturday night and Ball reeked of booze -- they immediately arrested him.
Ball denied he had been drinking ... at the brewery ... and refused to submit to a breathalyzer test. Cops did take a blood sample to be tested. So far, no word on the results.
Story developing ...
