After dumping the glitter, she yelled, “For the animals in the labs! Harvard, shut down the baby monkey labs now!” The crowd erupted in jeering and booing, while Garber could be heard off-camera saying, “It’s fine. I could use a little glitter.”

Then, have the charges dropped and give her a realistic fine for the clean-up because a shop vac and a janitor don’t cost 1200 bucks for an hour of work.
He certainly can ask that charges be dropped, but the whole “pressing charges” thing that you see on TV and in movies is bullshit. Civilians don’t get to make that call, and it’s pretty much entirely on the police/DA what happens to her.
Police will usually ask if you want to press charges, because a lot of things are a waste of time to try to charge if the victim doesn’t want to move forward with the case (which involves some investment of time and inconvenience). Domestic violence is an exception; the cops a lot of times are legally required to take some kind of action regardless of what anyone involved has to say about it.
But yes, the actual decision of whether to do anything or not in terms of criminal charges is up to the prosecutors, not the victim, which sometimes leads to some pretty fucked up situations.
I learned this when a creep was stalking me and tried breaking into my house at night. The police refused to charge him despite my insistence.
