A man who reports said was irate because he could not get his Rolex back from a West Side repair shop was arraigned in municipal court on vandalism charges after reports said he smashed out the shop’s window.

Vincent Sherman, 25, of Palmer Avenue, was arraigned Monday in municipal court on a felony charge of vandalism. Court records show he is free on bond.

Sherman was arrested about 4:45 p.m. Sunday at Jewels and More, 2618 Mahoning Ave., after reports said Sherman argued over his watch. The owner told police Sherman wanted the watch back for Christmas, but he told Sherman when he had dropped it off that it would take four to six weeks to repair.

An employee said she saw Sherman grab a stool and smash a front display window, then take merchandise and throw it on the floor.

A complaint against Sherman said he caused at least $5,000 worth of damage, which made the crime a felony.
