A Winnipeg businessman faces charges in what police describe as a "property-related" dispute with a business partner where it's alleged a chainsaw was used to carve up the roof of a popular city strip club.

Raymond James Rybachuk, 42, was arrested on the grounds of the Chalet Hotel on Archibald Street Thursday. The hotel is home to Teasers Burlesque Palace.

He's facing several charges, including two counts of mischief over $5,000 and uttering threats to cause damage to the club. He's currently in custody at the Winnipeg Remand Centre.

Rybachuk is the co-owner of the building housing Teasers and the Chalet Hotel, in which the female business partner runs the club, police said.

Court documents show the allegations Rybachuk faces date back to March 2012 when he allegedly uttered threats to damage the business and broke a door. The documents also show police believe he damaged some toilets there on Tuesday — a couple of days after he allegedly uttered another threat to cause damage.

Officers were called to the club mid-day Thursday after Rybachuk arrived and a chain saw was allegedly used on the roof, causing more than $5,000 damage.

He had employees with him who assisted, police said, but they aren't facing any charges.

Rybachuk's case was remanded to Monday. He has yet to apply for bail and is presumed innocent of the allegations. "It looks like this has been kind of ongoing," a police source said. "There've been some issues in the past. What the cause is, I don't know."

Rybachuk was last in the news in mid-June in connection with a separate business venture as his role of co-owner of the recently reopened Royal Albert Arms Hotel.

Hotel co-owner and business partner Daren Jorgenson told The Sun "disagreements" with Rybachuk was a factor causing him to turn in the hotel's liquor licence and cancel shows.

The Albert's Facebook page has detailed the firing of bikini waitresses, an entire working lunch shift while on duty, and one direct statement telling a staff member he was fired for complaining.

Jorgenson, who bought the property in 2007, called in his demand mortgage — forcing the partnership to break up — and ceased operations at the bar to expedite the sale.

The venue re-opened its doors in April 2013 after being closed for nearly two years due to a water main break and a dispute with the city over who would pay for repairs.
