At a bond hearing today, prosecutors said that Jensen and his cousin had been drinking on the 5400 block of North Natoma Avenue in the Union Ridge neighborhood at about 2 a.m.
As they two were drinking, an argument broke out over a broken Marvel Comics collector glass.
"The defendant stated that he and the victim were drinking alcohol from Marvel Comic collector glasses that the victim dropped his glass and it shattered," prosecutors said.
After the glass broke, the two had a verbal argument that then became physical, prosecutors said.
