SEATTLE -- Washington fullback Zach Tuiasosopo faces up to three months in jail if convicted of charges he punched windows out of four cars after getting drunk at a sorority party.


He will be arraigned July 17 on felony malicious mischief in King County Superior Court. Damage to the vehicles was estimated at $6,753.


Tuiasosopo, who started five games last season as a sophomore, is the younger brother of Oakland Raiders quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo and the son of Manu Tuiasosopo, a former Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman.


Tuiasosopo was arrested May 10 at a dockside tavern where officers found him drunk and with "blood and cuts on his hands and pants,'' police said.


Earlier, the 22-year-old Tuiasosopo attended a sorority party aboard a tour boat. The ship's owner told police Tuiasosopo had become belligerent near the end of the cruise.


Tuiasosopo told officers he drank too much and didn't remember what happened, police said.


In the parking lot at Fisherman's Terminal after the cruise ended, a witness told police Tuiasosopo challenged him to a fight when he yelled at him to stop punching the windows.


Tuiasosopo has no criminal record and remained free without bail.
