A Jefferson City man was charged on Monday after he was accused of damaging a Jefferson City high school with a sledgehammer.
James R. McLellan, 29, allegedly went into Jefferson City High School on July 30 and began hitting things with a sledgehammer, according to court documents.
The victim told police repairs for the damage would cost about $3,000, court documents said.
