(AP) — A St. Cloud man who allegedly told Target store employees he "wanted to get into trouble" was in jail after police said he smashed a big-screen TV with a baseball bat. Police said the man picked up the bat off a shelf at a St. Cloud Target, went into the electronics department and smashed a 50-inch plasma television.

The vandalism happened about 12:30 p.m. Sunday. The TV was valued at around $1,230.

The man was booked into the Benton County Jail.
