WASHINGTON, DC — A Montgomery County man is facing charges after police said he threw a keg through the window of a Washington, D.C. cupcake shop.

Charles Joseph Ali, 28, of Rockville, was arrested Thursday and charged with felony destruction of property following the incident that occurred earlier this week, the Metropolitan Police Department said in a release.

According to police, around midnight on Monday, Ali approached a business in the 3300 block of M Street in Northwest D.C. and threw a keg through the front window. He then fled the scene.
