Police: Ball Square Bar Gets Rock Through Window, Man Charged

A 21-year-old Medford man has been accused of throwing a rock through a plate-glass window at The Pub in Ball Square after getting kicked out of the watering hole.

According to a Somerville police report, officers responded to the intersection of Broadway and Willow Ave. shortly after midnight on March 15, where they found the owner and two employees of The Pub holding down Cord Real (the report also spells his last name "Deal").

According to a bar employee's account in the police report, Real was asked to leave the bar for behaving in a belligerent manner. Real attempted to re-enter the bar, according to the account, and when he wasn't let in he threw a trashcan in the street, grabbed a rock, ran toward the bar's window and smashed it.

Real told police he didn't remember breaking the window.

He was arrested and charged with destruction of property.
