CALGARY -- A 32-year-old man is facing mischief and weapons-related charges after a window was smashed out at a business in downtown Lethbridge on Thursday.

- Possession of a weapon dangerous to the public;
- Assault with a weapon;
- Mischief;
- Possession of a controlled substance, and;
- Three counts of failing to comply with conditions of a release order.
Badura was being held in custody Friday morning awaiting a bail hearing.
