A 32-year-old Evanston man was arrested Wednesday for pawning a watch stolen from a house in the 1400 block of Lincoln Street in August, police said.

The Evanston resident had to be physically restrained while in jail because his behavior was “erratic” and he refused to follow commands, said Evanston Police Department spokesman Perry Polinski.

He was charged with resisting and obstructing and is due in Skokie court on Feb. 22 for that charge and on Feb. 26 for the theft charge.
