A 40-year-old man was arrested late Sunday after he allegedly threw a three-pound chuck of concrete through a window of the Starbucks on State Street, Sunday night.

According to a police report, the man, Martin Donaghy, was creating a disturbance inside the Starbucks coffee shop at 661 State Street and was asked to leave.

As he exited the store he began yelling and making vulgar comments, the report said.

He then picked up a chunk of concrete and threw it through the store’s front window, barely missing customers in the store, the report said.

Two witnesses noticed the man heading toward a nearby parking structure and notified police, the report said.

Officers arrested Donaghy after a brief chase, the report said.

After he was in police custody Donaghy told officers “Joan of Arc made me do it,” the report said.
