TRENTON – A Trenton man apparently irate about not receiving police attention used rocks to smash three windows and the windshields of two patrol cars outside the West District police station this morning, authorities said.

The precinct building, which is unoccupied during the overnight hours, and the cars sustained thousands of dollars worth of damage, police said.

Irvin Saydee, 33, was taken into custody after he alerted police to trouble through a call box that has a direct line to dispatchers.

“He was upset nobody was responding from the building, and they detailed the cars on the unknown trouble,” said Sgt. Tom McDonough, a police spokesman.

The vandalism occurred just before 6 a.m., McDonough said. Damaged were the two front doors, a large 8-feet-by-10-feet window, and the windshields. The large, softball-sized rocks went through one pane of the double glass but did not pass through to the other side, McDonough said.

The building has a security system, but it was not activated because both panes of glass did not break, according to police.

Saydee has been charged with third-degree criminal mischief, aggravated assault on a police officer, and weapons offenses for the rocks.

Officer Keith Rogers was struck in the face by the suspect during the struggle to make the arrest and sustained swelling to his face and cheek, McDonough said.
