Police said they took Maureen Maria Athens, 41, into custody Friday in the parking lot of Coastal Television Broadcasting Co. on East Tudor Road after she and a man were allegedly involved in an altercation.
Athens was charged with fourth-degree assault, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.
The incident took place shortly after Athens took to social media to post unsubstantiated allegations against Anchorage Mayor Ethan Berkowitz. Though Athens posted that she would cover the story during her late night broadcast on Your Alaska Link, the story never aired.

Berkowitzs resignation comes the same week he admitted to having an inappropriate, but consensual relationship with local news anchor Maureen Maria Athens years ago. Last Friday, Athens took to social media to post claims of alleged illegal internet activity by Berkowitz, accusing the mayor of inappropriately posting nude photos to a website.
