Man in custody after inciting terror with chainsaw at Raleigh hotel

Police have arrested Jacob Vanderburg, 27, in connection with the incident.

Police surrounded the Red Roof Inn on South Saunders Street after responding to a disturbance call on Saturday night at 9:15.

The man threatened several people, but no one was hurt. Police said the man used a chainsaw to menace victims. The man in question eventually left the hotel in what appeared to be a dark-colored sedan.

Security footage captured a glimpse of the man, who was wearing a dark green baseball cap, a long white coat, dark jeans, and white shoes.

The motive surrounding the man's actions are not known.

Garner Police confirm with WRAL a chainsaw was stolen from an area Lowe’s Home Improvement store, and that storefront is boarded up as a result of a break-in.

Both Garner and Raleigh Police are working together on this investigation.

Vanderburg is charged with second degree kidnapping, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, going armed to the terror of the public, four counts of injury to real property, felony larceny of a firearm, and disorderly conduct.

Vanderburg is being held on $270,000 bond and his first court appearance is Monday at 2 p.m.
