A Gainesville man is behind bars Wednesday after deputies say he shouted at a woman and threatened her with a running chainsaw Monday night.

Dustin Waters, 36, approached a woman who was with friends at a Northeast Gainesville residence, and began to verbally fight with her while holding a chainsaw, according to an arrest report from the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office.

After the woman locked herself in the passenger seat of her friend’s car, the report said, Waters slammed the hood of the vehicle and cranked the chainsaw.

He ran the weapon along the front bumper of the vehicle and the passenger window, which damaged the paint, the report said.

Deputies arrested Waters on two charges of aggravated assault, damage to property and resisting an officer. He was also arrested on an active warrant for domestic battery by strangulation.

He was taken to the Alachua County jail, where he remains with bond set at $75,000.
