Convicted in 1991, Spagnolo served nine years in prison and was released in 2000, almost immediately being named a capo upon hitting the street again as reward for keeping his mouth shut.
Quintina is the nephew of former Patriarca Family consigliere Charles (Q-Ball) Quintina (held the post in the 1990s) and took his first arrest in 1967 on a New Hampshire state assault charge, which he was found guilty of.
Stretch and his Uncle Q-Ball were indicted and convicted together on extortion and racketeering charges in the mid-1990s. The younger Quintina served an eight-year prison bit and was released in 2002. In his heyday, he was known as an eager enforcer.
“Let me bounce this guy off the fucking wall,” he was recorded asking Boston mobster and future Patriarca underboss Alexander (Sonny Boy) Rizzo at a wired-up apartment of a mutual acquaintance as the pair were trying to intimidate an indebted gambler in 1992.
Pryce Quintina is still considered a suspect in the 1981 gangland murder of mob associate and convicted felon Angelo Patrizzi, however has never been charged. Rizzo was tasked by Gerry Angiulo with organizing Patrizzi’s execution and put together a hit squad, that some say included Quintina. Patrizzi was kidnapped from outside his apartment on St. Patrick’s Day, strangled to death and left hogtied in the trunk of a stolen car for getting into a public spat with Angiulo over Patrizzi’s belief that Angiulo had ordered Freddy Simone and another Patriarca “button man,” Connie Frizi, to murder his half-brother Joe Porter in 1978 while he was away in prison. Anguilo and Rizzo were convicted in Patrizzi’s murder.
