Balzano was charged with public intoxication and criminal mischief, according to the jail's website. The damage to the window was estimated to be about $300, according to the report.
The third broken window also involved a fight, but the subjects had fled the scene before Athens Police had arrived, according to a police report. A window at Wings Over Athens, 31 N. Court St., was damaged during the fight, valued at about $1,000, according to the report.
