drink driving after recording a blood alcohol reading of 0.04 on the morning of 7 February 2010. At the time Minto held a provisional driver's license. He was fined $500 and disqualified from driving for five months. Minto's offending constituted a grade-two breach and a disciplinary committee at the Central Comets imposed a one-match suspension meaning Minto missed a trial game against the Gold Coast Titans. He also lost his match payment for the first round of the season and was ordered by the club to perform community service. In September 2016, the Central Queensland Capras released Minto from his contract after he was charged with trespassing. The Capras board met after learning about the incident and decided to let Minto go due to it being the second off-field incident he had been involved in that year. Minto was fined $400 in the Rockhampton Magistrates Court on 20 September 2016, but with no conviction recorded. Minto entered a guilty plea to the charge which related to him and another person trespassing on a residential property during "Silly Sunday" and attempting to enter a woman's bedroom after earlier being told to leave the property. Due to a communication mix-up, a warrant was issued for Minto's arrest when it was initially thought he had failed to appear in court on 19 September 2019 to answer the charge. However, the warrant was later revoked when it was learnt Minto had attended the Yeppoon Magistrates Court to enter a written guilty plea because he was unable to travel to Rockhampton due to a family member being unwell. He appeared in the Rockhampton Magistrates Court the following day. In September 2020, Minto again pleaded guilty in the Yeppoon Magistrates Court to drink driving after recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.108 when he was intercepted by police on 17 July 2020. After the court was told Minto had no traffic history of a similar nature since 2011, he was fined $650 and disqualified from driving for five months.
